John Mahon (also Mahone, Mahoon; 1749–1834) was an Irish composer, clarinetist, violinist, and viola player.[1]

Life

Mahon was born in Oxford into an Irish family of musicians,[2] his father William Mahon,[3] is thought to have gone to Oxford from Salisbury in the 1740s[4] and to have been an orchestral player in the Holywell Music Room.[5] His siblings were James Mahon, William Mahon, and Sarah Mahon who were likewise musicians.[6]

Mahon performed his clarinet debut at the Holywell Music Room,[7] Oxford, in 1772 with a clarinet concerto. Mahon was a member of Oxford Volunteers Band.[8] In 1773 he played in London and by 1777 he moved in with his brother William Mahon to live in there.[9] In London, John appeared at Covent Garden,[10] Hanover Square,[11] the Haymarket,[12] the Pantheon,[13] and the Ranelagh.[14] John made several lengthy visits to his hometown of Dublin during his life[15]. In 1783 he became a member of the Royal Society of Musicians and played at the annual benefit concerts at St. Paul's Cathedral in May 1794, 1795, and 1797.[16] Mahon got married to Margaret Perry in Dublin (30 June 1792).[17] John Mahon had many financial troubles in 1814.[18] The Royal Society of Musicians illustrated his difficulties stating he was "infirm" and requested relief, in which he was granted £40. On 6 October 1816, Mahon sent word that he had received a serious wound in his left hand, which would take two to three months to cure and was granted an additional £30.[19] Mahon eventually retired in Dublin, 1825.[20]

Mahon died in Dublin,[21] January 1834, due to ill health. Mrs. Mahon was granted £1 per month survivor's assistance plus £8 for her own eventual funeral expenses.
