Susan Dorey

Principal Cello

On CLS career to date

Steve Orton, then Principal cello, invited me to play and I’ve been here ever since!

On most memorable concert

A memorable project with CLS was our A Midsummer Night's Dream with Richard Hickox: a week of performances at Sadler's Wells followed by a week or so at Abbey Road. Fabulous music making and great camaraderie.

On relaxation

And as for relaxing: what's that? Oh well, baking bread, playing Canasta with Mike and Tommy, coastal walks, reading for my book club, theatre outings, a good meal with friends.

My Desert Island Discs

Schubert Piano Trios, Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier; Bach’s St Matthew Passion.
