Episode 43 – Musicians Living in Lockdown with Jean Johnson

August 11, 2020

This podcast interview is with renown classical clarinetist Jean Johnson. Jean discusses everything from odd auditions to lock down to her new ensemble Metamorphoses.

 

Jean Johnson is in heavy demand as a performer, teacher and as the leader of her own ensemble named Metamorphoses. The pandemic has put the brakes on a huge amount of work as well as the furthering of this exciting new ensemble which includes a stellar lineup.

Jean discusses her background and movement into the world of music, time teaching at one of the USA's biggest music faculty whilst a student as well as moving to the far east to play with a world class orchestra to name just a few of the topics covered including starting a fitness class!
