Clarinet virtuoso Lucy Downer returns to our concerts again, partnered by Jocelyn Freeman at the piano. Their eclectic programme starts with a Mozart masterwork not often heard in concerts, and finishes with the ultimate showpiece, Carnival of Venice. Our resident composer Tim Perkins wrote Clack - Northamptonshire slang for 'conversation' - for bass clarinet and piano.
