In 1984 Emma Johnson won the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition, playing one of Bernhard Crusell's clarinet concertos in the televised final.[1] She won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in 1991 which led to her New York City recital debut at Carnegie hall.
She was a pupil at Newstead Wood School for Girls, Orpington and Sevenoaks School, and then went on to study first English and then Music at Pembroke College, Cambridge.
Emma Johnson has released several CDs; recent releases have included a number of popular and jazz tracks in addition to standard classical repertoire. She plays a Peter Eaton clarinet.
The soundtrack to the BBC television series The Victorian Kitchen Garden, a suite made up of five short movements for clarinet and harp, was dedicated to Ms Johnson by the composer, Paul Reade.
