Orchestral Performance - Uppingham 2003

The course

During the week's intensive course at Uppingham School, members of NSSO worked an average of eight hours a day, enjoyed the sports facilities of the school, mounted their own 'Silly Concert' in the school theatre and attended presentations by international experts, all of whom have most generously given their time to NSSO:

Dr Robin Philipp, a world expert in occupational health, gave a talk on the impact of music and art on well-being and health.

Ms Maggie Cotton, recently-retired percussionist with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle and author of the Percussion Work Book, shared her stories.

Mr Andrew Brownridge, an NSSO Trustee, organised a Quiz night.

Natalie Clein, the internationally-acclaimed cellist and first ever British winner of the Eurovision Competition for Young Musicians in Warsaw, gave an inspiring presentation to NSSO on Saturday evening.

The 2003 course culminated in an orchestral performance at West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge University on 27th July at 2.30pm
