At a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Degree: Mathematics and Statistic, second year<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instruments: Trumpet, violin, piano, voice<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensembles: Big Band, Brass Band, Choir<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n I am a second year mathematics and statistics student. I started playing the Violin at age 5 and then picked up the Trumpet and the Piano at age 9\/10. For three years, I was a member of the Northamptonshire Youth Orchestra on the Violin and Piano, and was also part of the Northamptonshire Youth Concert Band for 2 years on the Trumpet and the Piano. I got the chance to perform at the Royal Albert Hall three times with them as part of the MFY Proms. I also really enjoys composing – my composition for my secondary school\u2019s Big Band got chosen to be 1\/5 pieces performed in Birmingham as part of the MFY New Music Stage. During the summer after the first lockdown, along with my mum and brother I raised over \u00a31000 for the charity Music for All by climbing up 7 hills in 7 days and playing 7 duets\/ trios on top!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am really looking forward to being the Big Band Rep this year for ULMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joely Mosses<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Degree: Religious Studies and Sociology, second year<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instruments: Cornet, trumpet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensembles: Big Band, Brass Band<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Hi I\u2019m Joely, a second year Religious Studies and Sociology student and also one of the Brass Band reps for this year. I play cornet in the brass band and trumpet in big band and really enjoy both ensembles. I have been playing cornet for 10 years and joined a brass band as soon as I started learning. I play in multiple Brass Bands back home in York so I was really happy to be able to play at uni as well as helping to run the band. I am really looking forward to being on the committee this year as well as hopefully getting back to full band rehearsals and even some concerts. Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robert Davidson<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Degree: Environmental Sciences, second year<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instruments: Trumpet, cornet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensembles: Brass Band, Big Band<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Hi I\u2019m Robert, a second year Environmental Science student, and I am one of this year\u2019s Brass Band reps. I play cornet in Brass Band and trumpet in Big Band, which has been great fun and has allowed me to meet new people in a time when it was a lot harder to socialise! I have been playing trumpet since I was 7 and have played in a variety of wind bands, jazz bands and orchestras since I began playing. Apart from ULMS, I enjoy hiking, camping and volunteering on my local canals. I am looking forward to being able to get everyone back to rehearsals and to taking the band to UniBrass and Whit Friday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sam Copner<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Degree: Mathematics, fourth year<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instruments: Voice, guitar, bass<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensembles: Choir<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Hi, I\u2019m Sam the choir rep, a fourth-year mathematics student. I do a wide range of musical things, I sing in a church choir, sing pop music and I sing with ULMS in addition to playing guitar and bass, sometimes in ULMS but usually just for self-accompaniment. Outside of music I am an avid puzzle fan especially the way of sudoku and hanjie, and I am a keen hiker if I can ever manage to get out of Lancaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elspeth Lewis<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Degree: French, German and Chinese, second year<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instruments: violin and piano<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensembles: orchestra and strings<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n About to start my second year studying French, German and Chinese, I have a diverse musical background, having played in numerous musical groups before joining ULMS. Outside of music, I do ballroom and Latin dance as well as being an Air Cadet before moving to university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over summer I’ve taken part in a variety of language summer schools and well as travelling the country seeing friends and making up for lost time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Georgia McRedmond<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Degree: Psychology and Linguistics, third year<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instruments: Violin<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensembles: String Orchestra, Orchestra<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Hi, my name is Georgia. I am going into my third year studying psychology and linguistics. I play the violin in both string orchestra and orchestra. Outside of ULMS, I love to sail and spend far too much money on instruments that I learn to play badly. I have spent the summer nannying children in London and travelling to see friends I haven\u2019t been able to see in the last couple years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robert Moffat<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Degree: Geography, second year<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensembles: Swing Group, Big Band, Wind Band<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instruments: Saxophone, clarinet, flute<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n I am about to go into my second year of a geography degree. I have played music for seven years and particularly enjoy swing and jazz having been a part of Lancashire Youth Jazz Orchestra for four years. I have really enjoyed being a part of ULMS in spite of a lack of rehearsals for the first two terms. However, it felt so nice to be able to finally meet the people I had socialised with online and play music; a particular highlight being my first gig with sax and clarinet choir at Picnic by the Pond. Outside of ULMS I enjoy hiking. Plenty of walking also allows me burn enough calories so I can eat lots of nice food and drink plenty of wine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Caitlin Rees<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Degree: Geography, third year<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instruments: Flute, Piano<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensembles: Wind Band, Choir<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Hi! I\u2019m Caitlin and I\u2019m a third year Geography student. I play the flute and the piano in wind band and choir. I have absolutely loved being part of ULMS for the last two years, and I am very excited for rehearsals to get back to some form of normality this year! My favourite ULMS memory was definitely the carolling bar crawl in 2019. Outside of ULMS, I enjoy hiking in the Lakes, working for a circular economy business, and bouldering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome back to our Meet the Committee series for 2021\/22!
