​

My career in music education was primed by a concert tour by the Staffordshire Youth Orchestra (1968) to East Berlin when world politics prevented dialogue between communities and nations. The performance of music, the sharing of ideas in sound remains the way to change the world. Kent and Medway Young Musicians are catalysts for change, the means to create a better world. Please support them!
