Haddon Kay | Cello
“Working with the Plymouth Chamber Players was a perfect mix of inspiring music-making and genuine camaraderie. Playing with first-rate musicians in beautiful spaces made every performance feel special, and the repertoire was an absolute joy to bring to life. But what really made the experience unforgettable was the hospitality and the lasting connections I made with such amazing people.”
