First introduced to classical music: I can't
remember when I didn't listen to classical music. It filled my life growing up
as my mother sang in the chorus of the Royal Opera House, my grandfather played
tuba in the London Philharmonic Orchestra and I sang in Westminster Abbey
Choir. I also played in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and the
National Youth Brass Band. |
