A very quick hello and 2023 greetings! Last year was quite a whirlwind and this year has already been quite eventful. I began the year quite unwell but am all better now, and enjoyed performing with the Atéa Quintet again after a long while! What made this event extra special was being able to perform Charles Hine’s quintet: Charles was my clarinet teacher for many years when I studied at the Royal College of Music Junior Department (where I now work as a chamber music coach). It was a joy to welcome him to our concert at Holywell Music Room in Oxford. Thank you, Charles! xxx
