Programme Note
Our soloist Nicholas Shipman began to play the clarinet aged 14 and at Leicestershire School of Music he received inspirational lessons from eminent clarinettists including Jack Brymer OBE. He joined the Guildhall School of Music at 17, where his teachers included Dame Thea King, and where in due course he gained his B.MUS degree. In 1999, after two years at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague (Netherlands), he began to build his career as a professional soloist and chamber musician. He has given concerts and recitals in London and throughout the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. He performs music by a wide range of composers both classical and contemporary. Local venues where he has played include the Guildhall, Bath, and St George’s Bristol.
