Clariphonics is a clarinet quartet committed to promoting and expanding the repertoire for clarinet quartet to new audiences. Their eclectic repertoire includes arrangements of works from the baroque and classical periods, original contemporary compositions, klezmer, jazz and free form improvisation. They actively commission new works and are always exploring new musical worlds and forms and collaborating with other artforms.

Clariphonics have enjoyed success in a wide range of competitions. In 2007, Clariphonics were invited to play in London's City Showcase events, they were short-listed for the Park Lane Group Young Artists' Concerts, reached the quarter finals of the Landor Record Company competition and they were short-listed for the Manchester mid-day concerts.

In March 2008 they reached the semi-finals of the Royal Overseas League Competition, and they have also been selected for the Park Lane Group Young Artists' Concerts (PLG). As part of this they will perform in the Purcell Room on 7th January 2009 and their programme will feature the world premieres of two new works Clariphonics have commissioned by the composers Robert Fokkens and Haris Kittos.
