Amabile Clarinet Trio

Join us this week with the talented Amabile Clarinet Trio compromised of Lesley Schatzberger (clarinet), Nicola Tait Baxter (cello) and Paul Nicholson (piano).

A music graduate of York University, and greatly enriched by previous musical training at Dartington College of Arts in Devon, pianist Paul Nicholson has enjoyed a diverse musical career as an accompanist, chamber musician, soloist and director.

Lesley Schatzberger has been principal clarinet with the English Baroque Soloists, Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, London Classical Players, and Academy of Ancient Music, touring across Europe, the United States, and the Far East. As a member of Stockhausen’s own chamber group she took part in many performances and in recordings over a period of about 12 years.

Nicola Tait Baxter studied at the Royal Academy of Music with Lionel Handy, winning prizes for both solo and chamber music and graduating with a first-class honours degree. Further scholarships took her to Germany and London, studying with cellists Johannes Goritzki and William Pleeth. At the age of 24 she gave her first solo broadcast for Radio 3 and she joined the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields chamber orchestra and performed regularly with the Philharmonia, City of London Sinfonia and the LSO. For 5 years she was cellist in the renowned Fitzwilliam String Quartet, performing and giving masterclasses throughout Europe, Russia, North America and South Africa.
