Robert Plane joined us back in July as part of the Summer Residency and returns to Harrogate by popular demand to open the Sunday Series. His career as a solo and chamber clarinettist is rich and varied; he has appeared with international orchestras across Europe, Asia and North America. Previously principal clarinettist of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Royal Northern Sinfonia, Rob now holds the post of Head of Woodwind Performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. He is joined by pianist Tim Horton, a founding member of both Ensemble 360 and Leonore Piano Trio, with whom he tours widely.
