John Thurgood joined the English Chamber Orchestra as Principal Horn in 1995 and has performed with them throughout the world. He has appeared as a soloist with the orchestra on many occasions in this country and abroad and his solo playing has been described as “flawless” by a London critic.
The Festival is delighted to welcome John Thurgood to the Corn Exchange this morning to give a Masterclass with horn students from Berkshire Maestros before joining his colleagues this evening for our closing concert.
Maestros’ mission is to teach West Berkshire’s young people to make music – from classical to jazz and rock to world music. Maestros are passionate about music and are determined to continue bringing the joy of music-making to as many of Berkshire’s young people as possible.
