Musician Biographies
Caroline Welsh (flute) is a musician with a wide-ranging portfolio of work. Alongside performing, she is a charismatic facilitator of musical workshops, devising and leading creative projects and engaging people of all ages in the enjoyment of high-quality music making. She leads creative work in partnership with the Wigmore Hall, London Symphony Orchestra and City of London Sinfonia among others and guides many young musicians in the development of their individual musical presence, on the concert platform as well as beyond it.
Currently, Caroline is developing a new online project supporting young musicians to discover and develop their own individual voices as expressive and creative beings, with the aim of nurturing a supportive and resilient company of versatile musicians equipped for the future.
Dan Elson (oboe) is a Professor of Surgical Imaging, working at the interface of science, technology, engineering and medicine at Imperial College London. He plays regularly in many of London's orchestras, including Forest Philharmonic and Ernest Read Symphony Orchestra.
Charlotte Woolley (clarinet) is a civil servant working for the Ministry of Defence, with responsibilities in the Defence nuclear research programme. She studied at Keble (2001-2009) and has a DPhil in Laser Physics. She lives in London and plays for the South East London Orchestra and City of London Symphonic Winds.
Matthew Sackman (horn) began playing the horn at the age of nine. Whilst he studied computing at university and is a software engineer by day, he plays in a wide variety of orchestras and chamber ensembles throughout London and further afield.
Rick Yoder (bassoon) was a member of several professional orchestras, including those of Louisville (US), Monterrey (Mexico), and the Lower Rhine Symphony (Germany), before the frustrations of reed-making caused him to become a corporate tax attorney. Mr. Yoder s reed-making skills improved dramatically after he became a lawyer, and his law colleagues now praise him as one of the best bassoonists in his firm. His two daughters, having witnessed first-hand the practice of corporate law and bassoon reed-making (an activity that involves sharp objects and much cursing) are pursuing careers as a cellist and psychotherapist.
