Our final masterclass of the term sees the visit of internationally acclaimed clarinettist Andrew Marriner visit Abingdon to give a masterclass to our clarinet pupils. As one of the leading instrumentalists of his generation, Andrew was Principal Clarinet of the LSO for 34 years whilst also maintaining an international solo career. Heralding from a musical family, highlights of Andrew’s career include many performances over the years with his father, Sir Neville Marriner, both as soloist and a member of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Further details can be found on his website: http://www.andrewmarrinerclarinet.com/ This is certainly a masterclass not to be missed!
