My friend Peter Sheppard Skaerved, Viotti Lecturer in Performance Studies at the Royal Academy of Music approached me to do a joint film project funded by Research England’s Knowledge Exchange programme. I thought that would be a great idea but it would go further if we took the project to Newark School of Violin Making. It would present an opportunity to introduce the students to a couple of Strads and a couple of Amatis that I managed to scrape together, and it would allow us to use the Research England funding to help promote this incredibly valuable institution.
