…excited, cold, and slightly scared for her first orchestral rehearsal of Samuel Barber’s ‘Knoxville: Summer of 1915’.

It went very well… come and hear at St Serf’s, Inverleith, Edinburgh, Saturday 23rd February.

Help save Midlothian music tuition provision.

Adjudicating at the Rotary Club Young Musician of the Year Competition last night, it was so wonderfully apparent how much these students gain from free music tuition. Help save Midlothian free music tuition provision by signing the petition and protesting at Dalkeith Council Offices on Tuesday 12th February at 10am.

Working on wonderful Barber

‘Knoxville Summer 1915’ for a concert with Meadows Chamber Orchestra on 23rd February, 7.30pm at St Serf’s, Inverleith, Edinburgh

‘One is my mother who is good to me. One is my father who is good to me.’
