If you haven’t tuned in yet, try it! You’ll find something new and interesting every week.

My guest this week is Rhiannon Symonds a third year Trombonist studying at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. She has been playing the trombone since she was 9 years old, and has been performing professionally, alongside studying, since 2015. Since then, she has played with scratch orchestras and big bands for various shows, including the recent Gatecrasher and Cream Classical events in Manchester and Liverpool, a trance club new scene.

She has just returned from China, where she played with Slaithwaite Philharmonic as a soloist and principal trombone player.

Every week I share personal thoughts in my diary – this week it’s an unusual moment with a stranger. And every week I leave listeners with Weekly Thought and this week I asks them to re-evaluate their characteristics.
