Jane Salmon has established a reputation as one of the busiest and most successful cellists of her generation. Her work as a chamber musician and as a recital soloist has taken her to more than 40 countries across the world and has involved her in more than 30 CD recordings, broadcasts for radio and television, festivals and performances in many leading venues. As a recitalist she has premiered solo works on BBC Radio 3 and in concerts on London’s South Bank and Wigmore Hall. Recital tours have included two visits to India where solo performances to large audiences were juxtaposed with educational work in Madras, Bangalore and Calcutta. More unusually, Jane was the on-stage cellist in the Royal National Theatre’s award-winning production of the Arthur Miller play Broken Glass. A graduate of Cambridge University, Jane studied the cello with Amaryllis Fleming, Pierre Fournier and Johannes Goritzki. She won numerous prizes and awards and was selected for promotion by Young Concert Artists Trust which launched her solo career. Although the Schubert Ensemble has been her principal commitment for nearly twenty years, Jane has been a member of the Endymion Ensemble and Lontano as well as working with the London Sinfonietta, the Academy of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields and the English Chamber Orchestra.

“Clare was a wonderful environment to be in”
“Clare was a wonderful environment to be in as a student. There were loads of musical opportunities for performing with an incredible diversity of repertoire, as well as a chance to organise concerts and devise series, all of which have helped me enormously in my professional life as a chamber musician.
When I applied there was pressure for some quarters to go to Music College but I have never regretted my choice, and am still playing concerts with some of the people I met at that time!”
