We're very pleased to introduce our soloist for 'All Abroad!' Suzanne Fawden and are very excited to work with her on Berzlioz' Harold in Italy.

Following on from a scholarship to The Purcell School, Suzanne studied for four years at the Royal Northern College of Music with Vicci Wardman and then subsequently with John White on a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London. During this time she performed Harold in Italy with the New Phoenix Orchestra in Northampton under Martin Budgett and later with the Kettering Symphony Orchestra.  Following on from her formal training she enjoyed working with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, Thursford Christmas Spectacular, Chamber Orchestra Anglia, Bangor Music Festival, Sheffield Symphony Orchestra and Silver Strings String Quartet.

More recently she has been busy bringing up her five children amongst an ever growing collection of chickens, sheep, dogs and ponies in West Somerset.  She balances her home life with her busy teaching practice and is also now enjoying getting out and about with her viola again!
