Vita

[Photo] Portrait Sally Clarke

Born in Brisbane, Australia, Sally Clarke began her musical career with violin at the age of 11; one year later she took up the viola as well, in order to play chamber music.

From 1983-86 she studied with Elizabeth Morgan at the University of Queensland, graduating with a Bachelor of Music, Honours, degree. During this time she was awarded various prizes and distinctions. She performed regularly with diverse chamber music groups and as soloist with various orchestras: she performed Paul Hindemith’s "Der Schwanendreher" with the Queensland Youth Orchestra on its New Zealand Tour, 1986.

A German Government Scholarship (DAAD) enabled her to further her studies with Professor Rainer Moog at the Musikhochschule in Cologne; thereafter she was a student of the Herbert-von-Karajan Foundation in Berlin, and as such performed regularly with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Chamber music and solo performances have taken Sally to many places in Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Russia. She has participated in various festivals, including the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, Townsville. In September 2009 she travelled to Krasnodar, performing in the biennial "German Festival". She is a regular guest with Ensemble Modern, Frankfurt, and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

Sally Clarke’s recordings for CD and radio include the rarely performed Sonatas for Viola and Piano by Luigi von Kunits, Wilhelm Killmayer, and Paul Juon. Josef Rheinberger’s Klavierquartet op. 38 is available on Thorofon; "another sort of fire", featuring works by contemporary women composers, and performed by Trio Croma, was released by Bayer Records at the end of 2004.

Her great interest is expanding traditional "classical" approaches, through "Cross-over" projects involving oriental music, or live dance-theatre.
