I am very excited to announce that I'll be travelling to San Francisco in August for the American Bach Soloists Academy. I'll be undertaking two weeks of intensive work with their faculty culminating in concert appearances – before a little working holiday zipping around the United States.

This was originally an opportunity I won in 2020 (we all know what happened that year) so it feels wonderful to finally be able to take it up three years later. It's been almost a decade since I was last in the U.S. so I'm very much looking forward to this unique professional development opportunity as well as catching up with some old friends!
