UK music clubs and societies can book these artists with confidence, knowing each has been auditioned by a trusted talent development organisation.

Mementos from @agora.musicfestival two years ago: Brandenburg concerto in Vianden Castle, @v.r.alevizos ‘s beautiful piano quartet for Méliès’s silent film ‘the Kingdom of Fairies’, and almost dispatching some local lampposts my first time behind the wheel

Bravo @constantin_riccardi and @norabraun96 for organising 🙌🏼

Really excited to return to Arpeggione Viola Course, this time as a teacher! I went to the very first edition 15 years ago, and made so many special memories over the years (swipe for proof)

I’ll be teaching on the senior course 11th-16th August (14-19 year olds), but there’s also an intermediate course and junior course, all the info is on the website (link in bio)

If you or anyone you know has passionate young viola students or violinists wanting to try the viola, get in touch, I couldn’t recommend it enough

music: goosebumps ending of Bowen Fantasia for four violas
no it’s not too many violas
