The world-renowned clarinettist, composer, Folkestone resident and President of Bayle Music, Mark Simpson will be joined by Richard Uttley (piano) to perform a fascinating programme of his compositions alongside the two Brahms Clarinet Sonatas.

Noted for the integrity and breadth of his musicianship as soloist, chamber musician and recording artist, Richard Uttley has been recognised for his ‘musical intelligence and pristine facility’ (International Record Review), ‘amazing decisiveness’, and ‘tumultuous performance’ (Daily Telegraph).

Since winning both the BBC Young Composer and Musician of the Year – the only artist to have done so – Mark has established himself as a major voice on the international stage, with a worldwide reputation for both his playing and writing. Yet, it would be wrong to describe Mark as either a clarinettist or composer. His musical life is a symbiosis of his performing on the concert platform and pouring over his manuscripts.
