Overview
Emma Johnson’s Isolation Lament for solo clarinet was written during the first lockdown in 2020; the rest of her programme ranges from Mozart’s classic quintet through the dazzling technique of Weber’s Grand Duo Concertant, ending with Emma and John’s own take on Bernstein’s effervescent West Side Story.
