Blog Elements – London Mozart Players

Ian started playing the tenor trombone at the age of 11, and then joined the

Kent County Youth Orchestra on bass trombone in 1974, having been loaned an instrument.

He has played at the low end of the section ever since!

He went on to study at the Royal College of Music between 1978 and 1982 with Gerry McElhone, bass trombonist of The Royal Opera House Covent Garden. Ian developed a real passion for playing opera during this period, and works regularly at Glyndebourne, Garsington Opera, Welsh National Opera, and Covent Garden. He has also been involved in recording numerous film scores. Ian has been a member of the London Mozart Players since 1993, where he enjoys the different style of playing that is required for performing with a chamber orchestra.

Ian is married with two children, and in his spare time enjoys getting away to warmer climates.

We are thrilled to announce that London Mozart Players (LMP) is the recipient of a Catalyst small grant from the Arts Council of England (ACE); these grants are designed to help create a more sustainable and resilient art and culture sector. This is the second grant LMP has had from ACE in the last 18 months and shows our strengthening relationship with this important funding body. This most recent grant will enable LMP to become more financially secure and widen the orchestra’s income streams.

LMP will be using the grant in three ways:

To help develop and promote our new Podium leadership and training programme for businesses.
To help create an annual fundraising event during our 70th birthday year in 2019 featuring LMP alumni and ambassadors including Simon Callow and Jane Glover.
To recruit new members to our Development Group – a group of committed supporters from the business community who act as ambassadors for LMP, recruiting new patrons, donors and businesses.
