Michael Collins clarinet; Wu Qian piano
Mon 09 Mar 2026, 1.00pm
Continental connections run through Michael Collins’s recital. He opens with Gerald Finzi’s quintessentially English Bagatelles, before embracing the Sonatina by Martinu, written in post-war New York yet infused with the vitality of pre-war Paris, and music by two members of Les Six. The programme ends with the lyrical Clarinet Sonata by Arnold Cooke, a Cambridge-educated Yorkshireman who studied with Paul Hindemith in Berlin in the 1920s.
