JAMES SAYS
“WSSO continues to go from strength to strength – no mean achievement in these uncertain times for the arts and education. The secret is simple: a hugely dedicated team of staff, and terrific support from our local authorities. The atmosphere is one of friendship, fun and a deep commitment to musical excellence, and I’m delighted to be part of such a wonderful and inspiring organisation. I look forward to see what the next 25 years will bring!”
