BBC mourns popular violinist
RIPClare Dixon, a first violinist since 1990 in the BBC Philharmonic, has died at an early age.
She was the wife of the orchestra’s principal cello Peter Dixon.
The loss is widely felt.
A few years ago, Clare was asked for her life story. Here’s what she wrote:
‘I was born in Aldingbourne near Chichester, West Sussex. The BBC Philharmonic is my first job after graduating from Leeds Uni where I started with Classics and then changed to music and then I did a couple of post grad years at Guildhall.
‘I met my husband Peter (Dixon- Principal Cellist) in the orchestra so I got my dream job and my dream man in one go – why move?!!!’
