Sadly, 24 November was our last concert with Principal Cellist Jenny Sturt – she has been amazing to work with and we will miss her so much. However, it’s more of an au revoir as Jenny will be our soloist in our March concert – sure to be a great evening!
We are delight to announce that Elliott Bailey is stepping into the Principal Cello role.
Recently graduating from the Royal Academy of Music where his string quartet held the chamber music scholarship to study with the Doric Quartet, Elliott has freelanced with English Touring Opera, Welsh National Opera, The Hallé, Northern Chamber Orchestra (as principal cello), and Chineke! amongst others, which has taken him on international tours to the US – most notably Lincoln Center, and all around Europe.
An active chamber musician, he plays Wigmore Hall recitals with renowned bass player Leon Bosch, has featured several times on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ live broadcasts, and has played many chamber music festivals including Petworth and Clapham festivals. Elliott is also keen on session playing and has recorded the sound track to BBC’s Luther as well as being the featured cello soloist on Nainita Desai’s ‘Tales on Kenzera’, and has appeared on the Graham Norton Show and Jonathan Ross show with the Sugababes and RAYE.
