Programme Note
Doug was born in Edinburgh and began learning the cello aged 11. He later attended the Junior Department of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, before progressing to the University of York, where he attained a BA in Music. In 1998 he moved to Manchester to continue his studies at the Royal Northern College of Music with Jennifer Curtis, and was awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Performance in 2000. Remaining in Manchester, he is now enjoying an active professional career as a freelance cellist with ensembles and orchestras throughout the UK, including the BBC Philharmonic, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Welsh National Opera, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Opera North and Skipton Camerata, to name but a few. He is also frequently invited to perform solo and chamber music recitals and concertos with orchestras throughout the North-West.
