WREXHAM SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

 

Krista Williams - Cello

 

I began to learn to play the cello at the age of 9 following in the footsteps of my elder sister, Kathryn, who has guested for Wrexham in past concerts.

 

I have played in numerous ensembles over the years including, Wirral Grammar Chamber Orchestra, Wirral Schools' Orchestra, Wirral Schools' String Orchestra, Merseyside Youth Orchestra (MYO), various string quartets and a string quintet. Through these ensembles I have been on many tours including courses in Denbigh with the MYO and tours with Wirral Schools' to Paris, Austria and most recently to the Czech Republic.

 

I gained my Grade 8 to distinction in March 1999 and hope to maintain and improve upon my standard whilst playing for Wrexham. I decided to join Wrexham Symphony Orchestra after I left school as I had played in 2 concerts in 1998-9 as a guest and enjoyed the experience so much I decided to come back for more!!

 

Music is a satisfying hobby but it is not my chosen career. I am currently studying for a BSc (Hons) in Diagnostic Radiography at the University of Liverpool and hope to graduate in 2003.
