Aidan Woodcock
With very great sadness we have been informed of the death of Aidan Woodcock, the
founder of MAIASTRA, which runs short courses for young professional string players and for whom we hosted a concert in Farnham earlier this year.
Aidan was the most inspiring of people, gentle, approachable, entrepreneurial, exceptionally generous, dedicated to helping younger musicians and promoting good music. He was himself a highly competent musician having played violin in the LSO in his younger days. A generation of young musicians including many well known names owe him a great debt.
A number of TBS members regularly attend the MAIASTRA concerts in the Cobham area and plans are in place for the MAIASTRA concerts to continue in the future. The concert at 7-30pm on Sunday 2 October in St Andrews Cobham KT11 3EJ will be a tribute to Aidan (see http://www.maiastra.org/future-concerts).
