Michael Collins named clarinettist of the year
Hazard Chase is pleased to announce that Michael Collins has been named clarinettist of the year by Classic FM magazine. Collins fought off strong competition from other leading clarinettists, such as Martin Fröst and Sabine Meyer, to gain the title and has been dubbed a 'master soloist...one of the great all time chamber players' by the magazine.
'...he's the ultimate musician's musician who makes each performance an unforgettable event...' (Classic FM magazine, July 2009).
James Brown, Managing Director of Hazard Chase comments: "Mike is indeed one of the great chamber musicians - I can vouch for this personally, as we played the Mozart Clarinet Quintet together as students at the Royal College of Music and he was magnificent. Me rather less so!"
