“Thanks for putting on an amazing concert. Thank you, Esther and Michael, for working with our children and giving them a fantastically enriching experience. The children were beaming. Wow. I can’t wait for the next one!”

– Head of Music, James Woolfe Primary School and Centre for the Deaf

“Thank you so much for organising last Saturday’s violin concert. It was such a great opportunity for my daughter. She really enjoyed it and felt very inspired by playing with real concert musicians. We loved it, too!”

– Parent

“Water City Music embodies my ideal of egalitarian music-making, where musicians of all ages and stages enjoy performing together. Playing an instrument has transformed and enriched me throughout my life, and I am so happy to be part of a project that enables others to be touched by music, too.”

– Esther Cavett, accompanist

“I thoroughly support this project and the inclusion of children in concerts so that different generations perform together. It is their future and the future of music.”

– George Ewart, professional violinist

“Nothing inspires the fledgling musician more than combining with those to whom music is their calling, in front of an audience composed not only of peers and relatives, but the general public. I wish every success to Water City Music”

– Chris Yapp, Chairman, Oxfordshire Youth Music Trust

“Water City Music bridges the gap between generations of music-makers and the wider community”

– Alice Murray, cellist
