METHOD ACTING: More than 1,300 young musicians from around 24 countries assembled at the Royal Albert Hall on 9 April for the Gala Concert of the British Suzuki Music Association. ‘We were delighted and grateful to be able to bring everybody together for 2023,’ said BSMA trustee Paola De Carolis, ‘We were due to hold one in April 2020 but Covid happened and the event was cancelled.’ The performers, who all learnt their instruments with the Suzuki Method, memorised the entire programme, including music written especially for the occasion by composer T.K. Murray. Photo: Bill Hiskett
