Horn players perform at Lyme Park

RNCM staff, students and alumni horn players made a welcome return to a sunny Lyme Park last month to perform in the grounds of the stunning Grade 1 listed estate.

Led by Beccy Goldberg (RNCM Tutor in Baroque Horn) and Lindsey Stoker (Senior Tutor in Horn), RNCM musicians have played in the formal gardens and deer park for over 20 years until Covid paused proceedings.
