“The performances [Mark Simpson] gave were simply outstanding” (The Daily Telegraph)

At the age of 17 Mark Simpson became the first ever winner of both the BBC Young Musician and the BBC Proms/Guardian Young Composer of the Year competitions. He is now emerging, with the help of the BBC New Generation Artist Scheme, as a major new voice, both as composer and clarinettist. The Heath Quartet, an award winning, young and vibrant group have collaborated with many renowned soloists and composers. This evening we will see these exciting young artists come together to present a programme of seasonal chamber works, culminating in a performance of one of the most popular and beautiful pieces in the repertoire, Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet.
