According to Frank Wood, executive director of Key West Symphony, in a press release, Clarke is known not only for her "more standard repertoire," but also for her "passionate and unforgettable performances of the ‘violinist's concertos' and in doing so, she has been called ‘the violinists's violinist.' "

Clarke has toured with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, played with the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra, and was also the featured violin soloist in the major motion picture "15 Minutes," Wood adds.

Says Wood, "Bruch's melodic source for the Scottish Fantasy was the Scots Musical, an anthology of 600 Scots songs."

Brahms Symphony No. 2, adds Wood in the release, "is a delightful combination of lyrical charm and masterful treatment of recurring themes and concludes with a cheerfully robust finale."

And Smetana's Moldau "is an ironic piece charged with powerful emotion," the release continues.Smetana found inspiration for his compositions while taking daily evening walks along the banks of the Vltava (Moldau) in Prague."[M]elodies flowed through his head and he would return home to make rough notes on manuscript paper," says Wood.
