“I’m so pleased how YCAT has grown since I first joined, more musicians to help, more particular help from the astounding small team at YCAT. When I spot former YCAT alumni leading an orchestra, playing in the band for a musical, joining senior artists at Oxford Lieder, becoming ‘artist in residence’ - I feel a small possessive  thrill as I replied, “Of course, they’re YCAT.”
