MATTHEW Truscott, who grew up in Hutton Rudby and went to school in Great Ayton, is guest performer at Teesside Music Society’s concert in Stokesley Methodist Church on Sunday.

Early violin lessons showed he had great promise and his studies continued at Cheetham’s specialist music school in Manchester and then the Royal Academy of Music in London.

His career has since involved chamber music and lots of orchestral work. He played in the Proms in London last month under Sir John Eliot Gardner, and is one of four leaders of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

His accompanist is Simon Crawford-Phillips. They will offer an all-Beethoven programme.
