OUR ADJUDICATORS

CAROLINE CLEMMO was awarded a piano scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music where she won many prizes for both solo and ensemble playing. As a chamber musician she collaborated with many instrumentalists and singers and became a founder member of the Hartley Piano Trio, which gained international recognition by its concert and festival appearances, broadcasts and numerous recordings, including the complete trios of Spohr. While also performing concertos and giving recitals as a soloist Caroline derives particular pleasure from the field of chamber music. She has covered an extremely wide repertoire, ranging from the classics and romantics to complex twentieth century works. In addition to this wide range, collaboration with Evelyn Glennie has resulted in performance of percussion-and-piano repertoire. Her many activities have led to numerous London concerts,

regular broadcasts and invitations to major festivals. An important part of her work is the celebrated duo with Anthony Goldstone, described in Gramaphone as “a dazzling husband and wife team”. They are critically acclaimed for their pioneering broadcasts and CD recordings, including the seven-CD cycle of the complete original piano duets of Schubert. Their BBC broadcasts have often included first hearings of unjustly neglected works and they have built up an international following. As a teacher, Caroline is experienced in advanced tuition, with former pupils pursuing music studies in prestigious London instructions and at Oxford University. Adjudication (including BBC Young Musician, International Young Concert Artists etc.), coaching (various summer schools) and examining (for the Associated Board) also form part of her varied career.

Her many associations with choral societies have resulted in performances of oratorio, cantatas and concert versions of opera, working with both adults and children. Her enthusiasm for the Festival movement and its value in musical education has resulted in an ever increasing number of invitations to adjudicate at festivals throughout the UK including the Channel Islands and Northern Ireland.
