Guy Johnston
On the Friday, the Festival was pleased to welcome the cellist Guy Johnston, BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2000. In the afternoon he conducted a workshop with 11 aspiring young cellists, their ages ranging from 5-18. It was clear they were enjoying this rare opportunity; playing alongside them Guy gave them useful tips and encouragement. As a bonus they were able to come along in the evening to hear his Recital with the international concert pianist Kathryn Stott.
