Three students recently visited the London Philharmonic Orchestra. We spoke to them afterwards to find out how it went. First up: principal trombone player Andrew Lunn.
We loved it, it was incredible!
We watched the inner workings of one of the top orchestras rehearsing before a concert. Listening to the LPO play Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky in the almost empty hall and their attention to detail will forever stick with me, as well as the interesting interactions between conductor and players.
My trombone lesson with Mark Templeton going over Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony was truly inspiring. We covered everything from breathing to what Tchaikovsky really meant when he wrong the symphony. Mark's playing and especially volume are things I aspire to recreate and his knowledgeable insight into the music industry was incredibly helpful.
Thank you so much to the Richmondshire Orchestra for funding and creating this memorable opportunity and thank you to the London Philharmonic Orchestra for welcoming us so kindly.
