Clarinettist and composer Emma Johnson takes the Orchestra for the Environment on tour in June and July with a date at the Hexagon
Take your seat for a magical night with Emma Johnson, solo clarinet, conductor and presenter, and the 13-piece Orchestra For The Environment.
Emma Johnson MBE is a clarinettist who has made a name as a best selling soloist and recording artist. She won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition when she was 17 and has since recorded over 30 albums and given concerts all over the world.
Johnson is a published composer too and during lockdown she wrote a clarinet concerto, Tree of Life, inspired by a need to express something in music about the climate crisis. Its first performance with a handpicked team of like-minded musicians, the Orchestra for the Environment, was a triumph and has led to many more performances throughout the UK.
The orchestra endeavour to travel in the greenest way possible to concerts and they make a point of performing, alongside the classics, repertoire which draws inspiration from nature.
Evoking birdsong and the natural world, the music is accompanied by striking images by Edward Hutchison. It ends on an optimistic note that by working together we can effect change. Music by Mozart, Vaughan Williams and Paul Reade helps to complete this musical celebration of the natural world at the Hexagon on June 17th.
