LIQUORICE CLARINET QUARTET

established 1998

SARAH ABBOTT

Sarah is the most versatile member of our group. She plays a Bass Clarinet as big as she is, but she also composes, and arranges and transcribes many pieces in our repertoire.

She is a music teacher and plays lead alto saxophone in In the Pink Big Band . She also plays soprano/alto sax in the new saxophone quartet Answers on a Postcard, and has a successful solo and orchestral career.

Sue has been playing the clarinet since she was 9. She has extensive experience as a Concert Wind Band player and plays first clarinet with Bournemouth and District Concert Band. She is thoroughly enjoying the contrast of playing in a quartet, now taking on some demanding solo parts. She also manages a Social Services team and a young family.
