Andrew Sherwood has performed in many parts of the world as conductor and violinist. Born and educated in Africa, he then studied violin and composition at the Royal College of Music in London. He has been, since 1991, a Professor of Violin at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London (formerly Trinity College of Music).
Sherwood is now best known as a conductor especially for Brighton Youth Orchestra but is currently principal conductor and musical director of several British orchestras including the Sinfonia at Trinity Laban and European Youth Summer Music. This seminar will ask what difference it really makes, its impact on well-being, social cohesion, its relevance to academic and scientific research and its influence towards better understanding of how we learn.
