 Biography
Firmly established on the international concert scene Julian Bliss has already
appeared as soloist with a number of important orchestras including the London
Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France,
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, BBC Philharmonic, BBC
National Orchestra of Wales, NHK Symphony, Munich Chamber, Gulbenkian Orchestra,
Malaysian Philharmonic, Swedish Radio Symphony, and the Bergen Philharmonic.
In recital Julian has appeared at such prestigious venues as the Wigmore
Hall, Cadogan Hall, the Louvre in Paris, Montpellier Festival, Jerusalem Music
Festival, Bad Kissingen, Rheingau and Mecklenburg Festivals, where he was
awarded the audience prize and is now a regular guest. He recently gave a very
successful debut recital at the Lincoln Center in New York. As a prolific
chamber musician, Julian has collaborated with artists such as Joshua Bell,
Steven Isserlis, Misha Maisky, Steven Kovacevich, Elena Bashkirova, Julian
Rachlin, Simon Trpceski and Helen Grimaud.
Julian's recordings for EMI
have been greeted with critical acclaim and of his most recent release with
Sabine Meyer as recording partner was said "Spohr Clarinet Concerto no.2 in C
minor, colourfully played by Julian Bliss, is full of instrumental invention,
pitting the clarinet against some highly original effects and so requiring much
care in balance as well as finger dexterity." (Gramophone)
Julian has
appeared on national television on numerous occasions; at the Queen's 80th
Birthday at the BBC Proms in front of a live audience and a television audience
around the world in forty countries, in a three-part documentary about his life
for Channel 4 entitled 'Gifted', and he was among the distinguished artists
invited to perform at the Queen's Golden Jubilee Celebrations at Buckingham
Palace on 1 June 2002.
In 2007 Julian was invited by Conn Selmer to
design a range of affordable clarinets bearing his name. The BLISS range of
clarinets was recently launched world-wide and have received much praise. For
