Scottish flutist Stephen Clark has come a long way from his Glasgow beginnings, having toured in

locations as far-flung as Jordan, Latvia, and Mexico and fulfilled a personal bucket list that included

skydiving and swimming with sharks!

From early beginnings playing the recorder, to failing at the violin, Stephen arrived at the flute as a

last resort. He reveals how inspiring his first teacher proved, as well as loving the recordings of flute

legend Sir James Galway.

Stephen talks about calming performance nerves, the cruelty of competitions, the unique challenges

of his instrument, and preparing for his 2018 Carnegie Hall recital.
