Speranza

Charles Sugden, MA, ATCL, PGCE, cello I am a recently retired vicar and have over the last 20 years taught cello, flute and class music. After a music scholarship at Radley College, I studied history at Cambridge followed by PGCE course. I have wide orchestral experience in Cambridge, Derby and Dorset and have extensive solo and chamber music experience with the ensemble ‘Speranza’. I received a distinction at ATCL Cello (2015), tuition from the BSO’s principal cellist, combined with tuition from a former pupil of Casals. All this has helped make me a joyful, rounded musician. For a more extensive biography, see my book (May 2020) ‘A Cello Teacher’s Companion Guide’ Kath Sugden BMus, LTCL, MA. flute/piano My first love as a musician is to bless the community by playing the flute or piano. I also love to collaborate with other musicians as piano accompanist. I play a wide range of flute repertoire the core classical works to contemporary songs. I have performed frequently as part of Speranza with Charles and other colleagues. We love to learn new repertoire and explore different genres. I am particularly experienced in performing in churches and long experience in liaising with couples planning their wedding. We are based in Chard, Somerset and are willing to travel up to an hour to a gig.
