Hear RCM clarinettists as they learn from Julian Bliss in an inspiring masterclass.

Excelling as a concerto soloist, chamber musician, recitalist, jazz artist, and masterclass leader, Julian Bliss is one of the world’s finest clarinettists. In recital and chamber music he has played at the world’s leading festivals and halls, including Gstaad, New York’s Lincoln Center, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Verbier and London’s Wigmore Hall. As a soloist, he has appeared with a wide range of international orchestras.

In 2010, Julian established the Julian Bliss Septet, creating programmes inspired by the King of Swing, Benny Goodman, and a show built around the extraordinary musical output of George Gershwin. The Septet has performed to packed houses across the US and in European festivals, at Ronnie Scott’s (London) and Live from Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola (Jazz at Lincoln Center, New York).
