Malcolm Green

Malcolm was educated at the Royal Academy of Music, where he obtained a First Class Degree and the prize for the best student on the course, together with the award of the Recital Diploma on clarinet, the Academy's highest perfromance award. He has played in the English National Opera and Ulster orchestras and given recitals in the Purcell Room and at the Harrogate International Festival, in addition to performing in many music clubs. Many of his former pupils play professionally, whilst former pupils who have gone into other fields include the former England cricket captain, Alastair Cook, and the 'Pub Landlord', Al Murray!

Malcolm left his post as Head of Woodwind, Brass & Percussion at Bedford School in 2018 in order to devote more time to performing and adjudicating. He is a former Chairman of the Bedfordshire Orchestral Society and is currently Vice President of the Bedfordshire Music Festival. He has been the principal clarinet in the Bedford Sinfonia for over twenty years and has performed both the Finzi and Copland Concertos with the orchestra. His hobbies are walking, in which he has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and been to Everest base camp, and cycling, in which he has won the Mersey Roads 24 hour event, covering 460 miles. He is an adjudicator member of the British and International Federation of Festivals and adjudicates throughout the country. He is looking forward to returning to the Camborne Festival and wishes all performers well.
