Victoria Samek is one of the most exciting and versatile clarinettists playing in the UK today. Combining breath-taking technique and musical integrity in her performances and recordings, she is driven by her commitment to musical excellence.

A long-standing commitment to contemporary music has resulted in over 50 commissions and dedications, including many works by Rob Keeley, and a bass clarinet concerto by Thea Musgrave, which was given its world premiere with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Samek is founder of the international recording and publishing company Clarinet and Saxophone Classics: 2017 marked its 25th anniversary and saw the launch of Samek Music.

Samek studied for a Masters in Performance Science, and this, coupled with her unique perspective as performer, has resulted in a ground-breaking course and publication for practice and performance: Organise – Prioritise – Commit; The Definitive Practice to Perform Method will be launched in 2019. Victoria Samek is a D’Addario Performing Artist and an endorsee for Selmer (Paris).
