‘The great thing about the clarinet is it can take you anywhere – any country, any style, any era – and accordingly Clarinet Goes to Town journeys from Brazil to China encompassing styles from Classical to Jazz. It’s basically me letting my hair down with my favorite musicians in party pieces we’ve honed in concert over the past few years.’ Emma Johnson Clarinet Goes to Town
