Welcome Keith Henderson to the Crescendo Team!!!!!

Here is a brief Bio:
Keith was born in London and educated at the NSW Conservatorium under the tutorage of Richard Gill, Richard Toop, Ross Edwards, all of which had a significant influence on his thinking. As a composer and educationalist he now resides in Kent, UK where he is Director of Music in an influential Grammar School. He is guest conductor of the Canterbury Sinfonia and of several opera companies presenting performances of mainstream repertoire. To relax, Keith continues to perform on the same trumpet on which Ken Smith and Lew Campbell taught him, in chamber ensembles and orchestras, as well as being a regular jazz and cocktail pianist in local hotels and hostelries. In his spare time Keith attends concerts and art exhibitions in London. He regularly returns to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to see his family and friends.
