Past Achievement I Am Most Proud Of

Organising a performance of “Moscow Cheryamoushka” (Paradise Moscow), by Shostakovich in 2002 to help fund building repairs at New Hall College, Cambridge (now Murray Edwards College). This was a project that was significantly bigger and more difficult than we first imagined, but the end result was not only a success but also a lot of fun.
