We’re really looking forward to working with her as she spreads the word about Music in Lyddington and introduces us to talented young musicians she comes across on her travels.” Alexandra responded to the invitation to become Patron, saying “I am delighted to accept your invitation. Having travelled up and down the country, I can honestly say Music in Lyddington is the perfect example of what a music society should be: an outstanding committee looking after the artists with love and affection, incredibly enthusiastic and appreciative audiences, as well as the perfect setting for music making and sharing. It will be a huge joy to become Music in Lyddington's Patron.” Note to editors: Music in Lyddington celebrates its 25-year anniversary in 2016 and aims to provide music-lovers in Rutland and beyond with fine music in an annual series of eight high quality concerts, and to encourage young musicians.

Alexandra Dariescu began her piano studies at the Special Music School in Romania and moved to the UK at the age of 17 to study at Pocklington School, then the Royal Northern College of Music and at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
