Grace Cattell (flautist, MMus)
This was a great opportunity
to perform for a large
audience in a professional
setting. Rehearsals gave
me a chance to work
with the Solem Quartet
more closely, refining my
technique and improving
the ‘performance’ of the
piece. This experience,
definitely reminded me how
much I want to perform for
a living.
Tom Moss (composer, PhD)
“As a composer, it is fantastic to have such great performers - professional
and excellent student performers - as one can present and experiment
with new ideas quickly and efficiently.”
Megan Rowlands (flautist, MMus)
“This was an enlightening experience; I feel as though my perception
of performance has been developed further into the professional field.
Working with the Solem Quartet demonstrated to me how integral
experience is to becoming a professional, well-respected performer.”
Stewart Hankinson (baritone, MMus)
“The course has reinvigorated
a passion for performing that I
had almost lost. The stimulation
of ideas and the time to
focus on one’s own skills and
development,
together
with
fresh ideas and approaches, has
made me determined to continue
to develop. It’s never too late!
As a singer, it is rare to have
the opportunity to sing with an
outstanding ensemble such as
the Solem Quartet.”
