I am delighted to have been made a trustee of the Black Mountain Chamber Music Trust. The BMCMT have already done such wonderful work in the Black Mountains area, and I look forward to helping them grow.
The BMCMT exists to promote the enjoyment, appreciation and knowledge of music through concerts, talks, classes and other associated events, including outreach sessions in dementia and mental health centres, as well as schools. The festival works collaboratively with the Fitzwilliam String Quartet but also includes other performance groups, often acting as a springboard for talented young players in the early stages of their careers.
