Meet Our People

The Society is run by the Trustees, key operational experts, and a team of volunteers. You will have met or seen many of them if you have been to any of our concerts as they are frequently involved in welcoming guests, supporting our volunteers and ensuring that our concerts run smoothly for everyone involved.

The Trustees

The Trustees are legally responsible for the Society. They form the core of the management team and lead the strategic development of the Society. Most (but not all) Trustees have a special interest in a particular ‘department’ and lead the Society’s activities in those areas.

Our current Trustees are John Pollard (Chair of Trustees), Katharine Carter, Pam Grant, Steve Cvijanovic, Bridget Starling and Fay Sweet (Artists’ Secretary)

Key Operational People

Martin Hughes is Artistic Director of Lakeland Sinfonia, as well as Orchestra Leader.

Fay Sweet is Artists’ Secretary

Martin and Fay are responsible for the programming and scheduling of the Lakeland Sinfonia concerts.

Katharine Carter is the Concert Manager. She coordinates activities on concert days, helping to ensure that arrangements on stage and behind the scenes meet the needs of the orchestra and soloists.

Pam Grant is our Marketing and Box Office Manager. She organises the pop-up Box Office on the evening of our concerts but is also the point of contact and trouble shooter on tickets throughout the season.

Steve Cvijanovic coordinates the content and printing of the concert programme notes.

Our Volunteers

We have several teams of volunteers who help with distributing publicity around the Kendal area, running the pop-up Box Office in the foyer on concert nights, and helping in the auditorium. You can read more about them and opportunities to volunteer on the Volunteer page.
