Nic Fallowfield
Violin

Nic began conducting in 1991. A professional violinist since 1980, he directed concerts from the violin with the English String Orchestra and with the East of England Orchestra (now Sinfonia Viva). The enjoyment and fulfilment of these experiences was somewhat off-set by the frustration of being able to influence very little of what was going on while actually playing! The logical solution was to put down the violin, pick up a baton and learn how to conduct.

Since 1991 he has conducted youth orchestras, amateur orchestras and professional orchestras throughout Great Britain and on the continent.
