Orchestral musician Tegwen Jones shares her most poignant career moment as part of the Musician Behind the Moment campaign.

“My #MUmoment is playing Strauss’ Metamorphosen for seven players at a Coffee Concert in Pickering Parish Church last year.

“We received lots of thanks and gratitude for us going to Pickering – we left Sage Gateshead at 6.30am on a glorious July morning.

“It was such a privilege to play this music in a wonderful chamber group.”
