Sean Osborn—clarinetist, composer, and pedagogue—was the youngest clarinetist to be appointed to the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. He has since presented master classes across continents and performed as guest Principal Clarinet with leading American orchestras, such as the New York Philharmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony, and Seattle Symphony. With rave reviews from The New York Times ("…an excellent clarinetist,"), the Boston Globe ("…a miracle,"), and Gramophone ("…a master,") and over forty concertos in his repertoire, he has recorded dozens of CDs for London, Deutsche Grammophon, Sony, Albany, and others, as well as premiered works by Philip Glass, John Adams, John Corigliano, Chen Yi, and Jennifer Higdon.
