"I am very excited to be a part of Nightingale as I enjoy exploring movement with music.
I love working creatively in a small group and working with dancers in this way is a dream which doesn’t happen very often. It is also exciting and unique to be able to perform outside and bring Classical music and ballet to a wider audience."
