Clarinettist

Bristol

Susanna Lee is a budding composer, songwriter, arranger, and clarinetist based in London. Growing up in Bristol, she attended Colston’s Girls’ School after receiving a music scholarship in clarinet performance. Originally an aspiring singer-songwriter, Susanna moved to London in 2015 to study an undergraduate degree in Popular Music at Goldsmiths, University of London. After completing the first year, she rediscovered her passion for composing and transferred to the Music course at Goldsmiths to continue her studies. There she studied composition with Jeremy Peyton-Jones and later Roger Redgate, where she composed ’The Highwayman’ originally as a string quartet which was premiered by the Kreutzer Quartet in April 2018. After graduating from Goldsmiths in July 2018 with a First, Susanna spent her summer arranging the work for full orchestra which received its world premiere by the Wyatt Sinfonia under Zoë Kundu in January 2019.

What a fantastic evening! The concert on 30th August was worthy of any prestigious concert hall and to hear that music played so superbly and by such a young orchestra in our local church in Hackney was a real treat.

Wyatt Sinfonia is a new orchestra in more ways than one. The sinfonia employs many young musicians, including their conductor, Zoë Kundu, at the beginning of their careers. They regularly perform and promote both new music and some big old favourites.
