Honorary Artistic Advisor
Gordon Fergus-Thompson
‘I am honoured to be asked to be Honorary Artistic Advisor to the
‘Inspiro Music Conservatoire’, the brainchild of Kentaro Nagai and Maria Chiara Bonomini.
I am particularly impressed by the vision and ideology of both Directors, prioritising artistic ideals and an holistic musical education over above the simple development of instrumental technique.
I am very sure that the pioneering aspirations of the Conservatoire will encourage students to enrol, affording them the opportunity to develop their art in an environment which is both inspiring and wholly supportive."
