Last week, at the invitation of the Orchestra of Durham University I travelled up to give a day’s coaching to the Percussion Section of the Orchestra prior to the Annual Cathedral Concert held on 18^th June. 

We all had a great deal of fun and the students proved to be very good – as you would expect from a major university.

The Orchestra were performing, amongst other pieces, Copland’s Appalachian Spring and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade.

 I am sure the occasion was a huge success and am looking forward to future visits.
