Despite public outcry, Alice hung up her trombone following Grade 5 success in favour of strings.
After wonderful years at Bristol University, Alice completed post-graduate studies with distinction as Scholar at both RWCMD and RAM. At RAM, discovering a love for Creative Learning and Participation, she became an Open Academy Fellow.
Equally dedicated to performing (with an early music specialism) and creative music-making, Alice has a diverse freelance career. She enjoys playing with ensembles including The Gabrieli’s, Music For Awhile and The Hannover Band.
Alice is the Director of Thinking Music, an initiative she launched in 2020 to enrich the lives of children by connecting rural primary schools with universities to make music together. Alice delights in helping these various threads combine.
From traditional concert settings, to inclusive concerts at the Wigmore Hall, narrating children’s concerts and presenting on Radio 3 for The OAE, to writing lullabies for ENO, Alice loves the rich tapestry of creative projects in her working life. Alice enjoys folk fiddling, singing and playing mandolin, and taking to the great outdoors (keeping the sheep out of the loop about her ever-growing gut string collection).
