Congratulations to NSSO Principal Bassoonist Will Gold (a pupil of Graham Tear) who took part in the recent Northamptonshire Festival of the Performing Arts where he won both the Bassoon Open Class and the Clarinet Open Class before going on to win the Woodwind Section.
His rendition of Jindrich Feld’s Sonatine for Bassoon was described by adjudicator David Saint as ‘thrilling” and his performance at the subsequent Celebration Concert earned him the overall winner’s trophy, The Excelsior Cup.
