‘My year as an apprentice with the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra has
included some of the most exciting and exhilarating musical experiences of
my life. The opportunity to play in an orchestra of world-class musicians
so frequently at my age is unheard of amongst my peers, and it has given
me a very strong grounding in orchestral playing. The experience has been
invaluable on so many levels, and it provides an education no student music-
making experience can offer.’
– Tom Fetherstonhaugh, Merton College alumnus
