Hi Manny, I just wanted to let you know that I did a Christmas concert last night in City Hall here in Sheffield with the Halle Orchestra, and got chatting to Nick Trygstad and passed along your regards. He asked me to say hi, and ask how you're doing.


I also wanted to let the good people of TM know something he said to me whilst we were chatting. He told me that he hated Youth Orchestra, but that you were its saving grace. He enjoyed playing under your direction a great deal, and it seems to me that without your influence he might not have continued to study music, and would not be where he is today.

So there you have it folks, Manny is such a great guy to work with, that his influence resulted in one young man who did not enjoy orchestra all that much sticking with it and becoming principal cellist in one of the worlds best orchestras. Nice one Manny!
