Winner of the Hellam Young Artists' Competition, the Yamaha Young Performing Artists Competition and the Center for Musical Excellence's inaugural Lee Memorial Scholarship, Graeme Steele Johnson has established a multifaceted career as a clarinetist, writer and arranger. Johnson's diverse artistic endeavors range from his TEDx talk comparing Mozart and Seinfeld, to his music- and poetry-weaving show IMPRESSION--based on his octet arrangement of Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun--to his performances of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in its original form on a rare elongated clarinet that he commissioned.
