Bethany Wright
Bethany was born in the UK but grew up in Africa and the Middle East, and it was here in Dubai (back in 2003) that she developed a love for all things musical. A talented clarinettist, Bethany was awarded an instrumental scholarship to read Music at Royal Holloway, University of London where she studied clarinet under Stuart King and Elizabeth Drew and flute under Carla Rees. Majoring in solo performance (clarinet) and ensemble performance (flute), Bethany performed in a plethora of concerts and events with various ensembles. Armed with a first-class degree Bethany has since organised concerts and tours for one of the top orchestras in the UK, including notable events at Buckingham Palace, Carnegie Hall and the NATO headquarters in Brussels, as well as at concert halls across the UK and Europe. She has worked regularly with some of the world’s greatest artists, including Maxim Vengerov, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Martha Argerich, Sir Andras Schiff, Evgeny Kissin, Nicola Benedetti, and Sir Bryn Terfel to name a few. Alongside freelance concert management, Bethany loves working with the next generation of young musicians, helping them discover and enjoy the exciting world of music-making and performance. Bethany most recently held the position of Concerts Manager at The Purcell School for Young Musicians, returning to Dubai in 2023 to work on the lively programme of events at the Centre for Musical Arts.
