+ Ionian Clarinet Choir

'Consists of 10 – 15 enthusiastic players, playing a variety of clarinets which cover most of the clarinet family. They range from the tiny Eb, Bb to the Alto, Bass, Contra-Alto and the enormous Contrabass ... We aim to hold at least 2 concerts per term, usually in the local area and often in churches but sometimes in care homes for elderly people ... We are the oldest clarinet choir in Europe, having been formed in 1970 by Roy Upton-Holder, a professional clarinettist.’
