Merlin Shepherd is one of the world's leading players of traditional Eastern European klezmer clarinet. Born in Cardiff, Wales, and based in Brighton, UK, Merlin has toured and recorded throughout Britain and Europe with over a dozen leading ensembles, including Budowitz and the Klezmatics. Merlin worked as musical director and onstage musician at the Royal National Theatre London for over 20 years, for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre London, and recently for Paula Vogels Indecent at London's Menier Chocolate Factory. He has also taught at music seminars in Kazan, Kyiv, Berlin, Paris, New York City, and Montreal. Merlin's most recent recordings include Sklamberg & the Shepherds' Aheym Homeward (2015); Hamsa's Lawless, Winged & Unconfined (2017); and Terry Pack's Trees-Into the Woods (2019).
