Devon Branch
Programme for 2007 - 2008
As we currently have no Musical
Director, the program features visiting
conductors and volunteers from
the branch.
As we have
been unable to finalise all arrangements at the time of writing, it is possible
that there will be one or more additional visiting conductors. Details will be
available here.

no doubt.

It is a real privilege to have Andrew come to
our branch for a very special playing day. You can let the Branch Secretary
know, or just come to our usual venue.
Andrew was born in Birmingham
in 1967, where he studied recorder with Paul Clark, before attending Trinity
College of Music. Here he undertook a fourth year performance course, studying
with Philip Thorby. Further studies were with Eve O'Kelly in London and in
Amsterdam. He has been a finalist in the Moeck Solo Recorder Competition on two
occasions and he performs in both Early and Modern Music Ensembles, playing a
wide range of music. He has produced several CD recordings.
