Things you really need to know about Lester Hough

Favourite colours 

Blue and yellow

Favourite food 

Fish and chips, especially when eaten with vinegar at the seaside.

Favourite composer 

Carl Neilsen, the Danish composer. He seems to have been a together guy who wrote energetic music.

Favourite instrument  

I like playing the piano although I also play the double bass.  When writing music and conducting though, every instrument is, for me, an ‘integral part of the overall flavour!’

Favourite Hobby 

Digital photograhy, especially landscapes

Favourite piece of music  

The one I was playing last !!!!

You might also have guessed that I have studied Music.  I have taught in Schools, Colleges and privately.  I have written and directed musicals, conducted ensembles, led choirs and ensembles and written serious pieces of music which have won prizes in competitions.

During my varied career, one thing stays the same, and that is the satisfaction I get in seeing people exceed their expectations and come alive to the wonderful world of music.
