Quote from Angus:
"Since my first rehearsal with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic I’ve been spellbound by the quality of musicianship and the friendliness and openness of this wonderful orchestra. I look forward to joining the mighty cello section of the RLPO and can’t wait for a fantastic season ahead!”
