She never remarried.[1]Career[edit]She worked as soloist, chamber musician and as a teacher but was probably associated most closely with the English Chamber Orchestra as principal clarinet from 1964 to 1999. She also worked with the London Mozart Players, succeeding Gervase de Peyer as principal clarinettist, the Sadler's Wells Opera Orchestra, the Melos Ensemble and the Allegri String Quartet. She was a founder member in 1953 of the Portia Wind Ensemble, an all female group.[1]Thea King made a special study of lesser known works of the 18th and 19th centuries, especially those of Crusell.[2] She commissioned Elizabeth Maconchy's Fantasia and Howard Blake's Clarinet Concerto.[1] Compositions dedicated to her by British composers include Benjamin Frankel's Clarinet Quintet (which she recorded in 1991, helping revive interest in the then neglected composer)[3] and Gordon Jacob's Mini Concerto.[2]From 1961 to 1987, she was Professor of Clarinet at the Royal College of Music and she was a Professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama from 1988 until her death. She was a Fellow of both institutions.Thea King was made an OBE in 1985 and was appointed a DBE in 2001.[2]Bernhard CrusellBernhard Henrik Crusell (15 October 1775 – 28 July 1838) was a Swedish-Finnish clarinetist, composer and translator,[1] "the most significant and internationally best-known Finnish-born classical composer and indeed, — the outstanding Finnish composer before Sibelius".[2]Painting of Carl Maria von Weber (1814) by Thomas LawrenceCarl Maria Friedrich Ernst von Weber (18 or 19 November 1786 – 5 June 1826)[1][2] was a German composer, conductor, pianist, guitarist[3][4] and critic, and was one of the first significant composers of the Romantic school.Scans/Photos of the actual items are shown.

Here's a chance to pick up one at a great price. I’ve bought and sold on eBay since 1997 – collecting and selling just about everything – if you’re looking for something let me know, I’m preparing to downsize portions of my collections and a large portion of my proceeds will be going to my daughter’s (aka: Little Nubby) college fund.

Special requests, wish lists and all inquiries will be answered to the best of my ability. I may not an absolute expert on anything, but I’m pretty knowledgeable about a lot of things…. Shipping Notes: - I try to get everything out the next available postal day after payment clears, but my ‘day job’ is very hectic and chaotic from time to time so there might be a couple days delay until I can get to the post office. Further with the Federal closing of smaller post offices (mine included), it might take a couple extra days to arrive. - If you need it quickly, just ask and I usually have no problem accommodating your wishes. - I combine shipping. - I sell and ship internationally. However, once it leaves the United States, buyers assume the risk of the package getting there, if it makes it to that country intact, which is more than fair. Blame France for that one.....Shipping rates vary due to location of where the item is being sent. If I offer free shipping on any items it is for the United States only unless noted. Other Legal-eze: - I offer a money back guarantee provided I get the item back in the condition it was sent and it’s within 30 days of receipt of said item. - Payment must be made thru Paypal (per eBay). Unless you are local and can pick the item up. There are other arrangements that can be made if necessary – feel free to ask. Happy Hunting and Thank You for your time looking at my ‘trinkets’!
