Geoffrey Parkin
Clarinet
Geoffrey Parkin, currently a Masters student at the Royal Northern College of Music, was a finalist in the 2002 Lincolnshire Young Soloist Competition, narrowly missing the first prize. This concert provides the ideal opportunity to invite Geoffrey as soloist. He graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2000 and won the Zochonis Scholarship at the RNCM last year. Geoffrey has played with the National Youth Wind Orchestra and the Orchestras of the University of Birmingham and the RNCM, as well as broadcasting on both BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM. Geoffrey is a member of the Cefiro Clarinet Quartet, holds an advanced certificate in piano performance and teaches at Newcastle-under-Lyme school.
