Laurence Kempton studied
the violin with Maurice Hasson at the Royal Academy of Music in
London. He left to join the English String Orchestra where he
worked with may great musicians, including Yehudi Menuhin, his
childhood hero. He later joined the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra
and had wonderful experiences playing at the Proms and enjoying
many international tours before becoming a member of the
Orchestra of the Welsh National Opera.
As a soloist he has
performed many concertos, including those of Mendelssohn, Bruch,
Mozart, Bach and Beethoven, as well as numerous recitals. He is
particularly fond of the salon music of Elgar and Kreisler and
has just recorded his first CD.
When not teaching or
practicing, or being baffled by his sons' homework, he tries to
find time to indulge in his passion for distance running, really
enjoying the opportunity it affords to explore the great
outdoors.
