Gwenllian Llyr, harpist-composer
I learned so much about myself through the different experiences in different colleges, competitions, projects, travels, all of which fed my artistry. Widen your circle, be bold, say yes. You can (almost) always come back.
Claire Victoria Roberts, composer, vocalist & violinist
You don’t have to formally study composition to write, look at scores you love, play pieces you love, find a way to communicate your ideas to performers or on the page
Fiona Rutherford, composer & harpist
Place yourself in the present musical moment as often as possible! When this happens, I find it means you are being most true to your musical self, without any other motivations whatsoever.
Richard Olatunde Baker, percussionist
Find your own voice as soon as you can, don’t be afraid, even if people label you a maverick; that’s actually a compliment.
