Sally-Ann is a Scottish violinist who grew up in Glasgow. She studied (very hard!) at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Royal Academy of Music and Queensland Conservatorium of Music. Her first job was with the Bingham Quartet (London) but she also enjoyed a freelance career playing with many fine UK orchestras, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra plus some onstage performances at the National Theatre (alongside Fiona Shaw, who played Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter films). Her best gig ever was making icicle noises for a BBC documentary about Antarctica for which she was paid rather generously for the minimal effort involved! Her most dangerous gig ever was when the Mikado fell into the pit breaking her bow in half in a performance in Geneva. In her time off Sally-Ann enjoys spending time with her children (aged 6 and 8), baking, reading, and international travel. She loves playing in Camerata and thinks the choice of music is really original and exciting (and hopes you do too).
