David Brophy announced as new chief conductor of the WDR Funkhausorchester in Cologne, Germany
We remember David starting as a beginner who was with us for 10 years. He was interested to know how music works and how it is constructed. Once he had decided on a career in music, he worked very hard with Daniel Walsh before commencing studies for his degree in music. We congratulate David, and we are sure that his mum, dad, and his own family are all very proud. We are very proud too!
This seems to be a wonderful match between a professional orchestra and a chief conductor, both of whom like to challenge themselves with daring new ways to reach and entertain an audience.
We'll be watching the developments of new projects with interest!
We are thrilled to announce that our esteemed former piano and musicianship student, David Brophy, has been bestowed with a well-deserved honorary PhD by The Open University (OU)—an accolade that pays tribute to his outstanding contributions to the realm of music, as well as his unwavering commitment to education and the arts.
