Donald Sturrock

Since then he has worked as writer and director on countless film, theatre, opera and television projects, as well as writing a prize-winning biography of Roald Dahl. He gets bored easily and is always looking for new things to do. Four years ago he founded a new London orchestra Odyssey Festival Orchestra for 18-30 year-olds with his long-time collaborator, Peter Ash. Using actors, their concerts illuminate the intellectual and artistic context of the music being performed, thus bringing a new generation of people into the concert-hall.
