ALISON STEPHENS is a leading exponent of the classical mandolin in the UK. She was the first graduate of mandolin from Trinity College of Music, and was appointed as a teacher upon graduation, a post she still holds. Alison has played across the UK and around the world. She has made seven CDs, has broadcast frequently and has presented her own BBC Radio 4 feature which was subsequently nominated for a Sony Award. Alison regularly plays in an orchestral context with orchestras such as Welsh National Opera, Royal Opera, Opera North, Birmingham Royal Ballet, CBSO, LSO and BBCSSO. In addition to a CD with Craig Ogden (Guitar), Alison has worked on several projects in connection with Captain Corelli’s Mandolin including a sell-out stage show with over 500 performances and also played the soundtrack for the Holleywood film starring Nicholas Cage.
LAUREN SCOTT has played the harp since the age of 6. After studying at Chethams School of Music and the special music course at Pimlico School, London, Lauren attended Trinity College of Music, studying with Sioneed Williams and winning several solo performance awards.

She has performed at major festivals like Edinburgh, Cheltenham and BBC Proms, toured throughout Europe and recorded with orchestras such as Northern Sinfonia and Britten Sinfonia.
