International Concert Series 2023-24
Nominated as a 2022 Rising Star Artist by Classic FM, Jonathan Leibovitz’s growing profile is already taking him across Europe and beyond as a sought-after recitalist. He combines high technique with a mature musicality, bringing colour, agility and lyricism to the clarinet. We welcome him to Royal Holloway, with pianist Joseph Havlat, for an evening of Weinberg, Brahms, and Poulenc.
This event is presented as part of Royal Holloway's International Concert Series 2023-24.
