The final lunchtime concert featuring students from the Royal Academy of Music sees a programme that reflects on musical land and seascapes. Raj Bhaumik and Lily Petrova’s clarinet take us from the English landscape so vividly portrayed by Vaughan Williams in his English folksong settings to the seascapes of Baja California in Jenni Brandon’s Fin de la terra (The End of the Earth) and to the ‘oceans of silence’ by Japanese composer, Somei Satoh. The programme concludes with one of the most popular of all works for the combination, Debussy’s Premiere Rhapsody.

Raj Bhaumik is a clarinettist who is in his third year at the Royal Academy and is a member of the Drogoda Quintet formed from former National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain alumni. Fellow student Lily Petrova has already performed at major venues including the Cadogan Hall , St Martin-in-the-Fields and Southbank Centre, and made her Wigmore Hall solo debut in February 2026.
