The Conductor~Tori Rushton
Tori Rushton has been a professional cellist for over 25 years and today she often plays for theatre companies in the pit for their productions. (RSC, Warwick Arts, Belgrade Theatre, etc..). Tori was principal cellist at the Paris Symphony Orchestra for 10 years as well as in other ensembles. She then returned back to the UK to continue her musical journey. Her musical knowledge is extensive and her reputation is very widespread and growing. Tori took up the challenge of forming and training a String Orchestra in January 2018 as she believes in the value and enjoyment of amateurs developing and performing in a professional way. Also went on an intensive conducting course at The Royal Northern College of Music to enhance her skills to make The Real String Orchestra play the best they can in many different composers and genres.
