More Harry James than Haydn. But nowt wrong with that!
Very cool to see an older lady playing the trumpet like that. Nice post.
Another early pioneer among women brass players was Maisie Ringham who was principle trombone in Hallé during the Barbirolli years. She demonstrated that women could fill such positions with high standards, but it took another half century before another woman filled such a position in a UK orchestra.
Sadly, Maisie Ringham Wiggins passed away aged 92 this past weekend. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her and is mourned by family and friends across the world.
