NIGEL STEPHENS has been with Sutton Symphony Orchestra since 1999 and has performed a number of solo works during that time.

As a self taught player who learnt the violin 'by ear' , Nigel did not join the orchestral scene until his late thirties after playing a wide range of music from Scottish Ceilidh to Czechoslovakian dance.

Although much of his time is now taken up with business, Nigel is involved in many musical activities such as providing notation services, performing with his string quartet at functions, and playing with other orchestras and ensembles throughout the London area.
