Ian Clarke is a player/composer who in recent years has established a reputation as one of the UK's most innovative flautists with a particular interest in contemporary works and techniques.

Ian has performed as a celebrity soloist for the British Flute Society including the 1999 & 2006 International Flute Conventions, Manchester, and as one of their ‘renowned artists’ at their 20th Century flute day in 2001. He made his international debut as guest soloists at the NFA’s 2001 International Flute Convention, Dallas.  Following on from this Ian was the guest artist at the 2003 Hungarian National Flute Event and a headline artist in the 2005 NFA convention in San Diego. 

Ian's compositions range from the humorous to the ethereal and from the sight readable to the definitely un-sightreadable, often employing an array of extended techniques which he manages to combine in a uniquely accessible manner. His growing list of publications such as Zoom Tube, Orange Dawn, The Great Train Race and Hypnosis are establishing themselves as some of the most exciting repertoire of today and are being embraced by leading performers, teachers, colleges & students alike.

Ian is an International  Miyazawa Flute Endorsee.
