The thing I most enjoy about being part of Royal Northern Sinfonia is… learning from my amazing and talented colleagues.
The classical music piece likely to find me lost in is… whatever I’m learning.
My favourite composer is… James Weeks. Makes the best husband out of all composers I know.
Contemporary song I can’t live without is… Chris Newman’s ‘London’
When I’m not performing or rehearsing you can find me… practicing.
This season I am mostly looking forward to… Christian Tetzlaf. What a fantastic musician.
If I could play on stage with any artist, it would be… well, we all miss Lars hugely.
My pet’s name is… Cleo. A cat. Prolific mouse murderer.
