Ian Scott
Ian Scott, Principal Clarinet, is perhaps one of the more
familiar of the orchestra's principals, taking his curtain call on stage
at the end of Stanton Welch's Powder around twenty times in the
last couple of years. Ian started both the clarinet and piano at 15,
influenced by a recording of Mozart's Quintet by the famous English
clarinettist Reginald Kell. He trained at the Royal Scottish Academy
of Music and Drama with Henry Morrison and then at the University of
Arizona with John Denman, before taking up his first professional job
as principal clarinet with the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon. He has
played with all the London orchestras and recorded with the London
Philharmonic, BBC Symphony and London Symphony orchestras and chamber
music recordings with his groups The Clarinet Section and Harmoniemusik
of London.
Ian has recently recorded a CD of British Clarinet Concertos
with the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, conducted by Gavin Sutherland. In January
2005 there are plans to record a second CD with the orchestra's Music
Director, Barry Wordsworth. This recording will bring to light two more
British Clarinet Concertos by Leighton Lucas and Humphrey
Procter-Gregg.
