Véronique Matarasso

Violin

veronique Matarasso's background includes grandparents from greece, france, england and america. (She was brought up speaking english and french and remembers being taught by her father a small amount of greek; namely how to say 'go and jump in the lake, worm...')

This phrase comes in much more handy than the english and french versions, particularly at rehearsals. Véronique has lived in the same small rural corner of Warwickshire all her life where she has devoted many years to dealing with an ever-growing assortment of animals and children.

She has spent an equal number of years playing the violin (via the Royal Academy of Music) with orchestras including the London Handel Orchestra, the Hanover Band, the Brandenburg Consort, Southern Sinfonia and, of course, the Corelli Orchestra.
