Peter Fields, who will take over from Judy Hollis as our Musical Director in January 2010, brings to our group a wealth of musical experience, playing, teaching, both to individuals and in schools, and directing. He is an accomplished performer on both violin and piano, and has played with many distinguished orchestras in Britain and overseas. The list of virtuosi with whom he has performed reads like a Who's Who of classical and popular music: Menhuin, Ashkenazy, Svetlanov, Maazel, Kempe, Guilini, Lill, Oistrakh, Carreras, Julian Lloyd Webber, Charlotte Church , Tommy Steele, Dionne Warwick, Henry Mancini and others.
Peter's wife, Sue, plays in our violin section, and Peter lives locally, so knows us well, and will be aware of our strengths and weaknesses. We warmly welcome Peter's appointment, and hope we can maintain our musical momentum, so much due to Judy's efforts, under his direction.
