Emma Johnson began to study the clarinet at the age of nine. In 1984 she won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition televised throughout Europe and in 1991 was a winner of the Young Concert Artist Auditions in New York.

In Britain she has achieved great popularity, regularly playing to sold-out concert halls. Her recent disc 'Voyage' for Universal Classics & Jazz went straight to number three in the UK Classical Charts. Emma's latest disc, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth (2006), includes the Clarinet Concerto and the Quintet.
