Laurine Rochut (Violin) began her musical studies in France at the Conservatoire de St Maur where she was awarded a Gold Medal with unanimous decision whilst she simultaneously followed an orchestral course at the Conservatoire de Paris. The latter of these courses presented the opportunity to meet and work with conductors such as S. Baudo and R. Casadesus.
Laurine studied with Ani Schnarch in the Royal College of Music which she graduated as a postgraduate student with Distinction and in a Master Degree.
 
She has recently been performing as an orchestral musician and soloist with the Southbank Sinfonia Orchestra, Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra, London Soloist Chamber Orchestra, Primavera Ensemble, Bath Philharmonia, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra with whom she is on trial at the moment.

During this time William has been able to participate in some major international music courses where he has followed the advice of world famous cellists such as Franz Helmerson, Arto Noras and Natalya Guttmann.

William has a keen interest in contemporary music which has led to him giving world premiere performances of works by composers such as Yann Robin and Francois Rossé. This year William is involved in the Elliot Carter festival in London and will be performing his Cello Sonata (1948).
 
In the summer of 2008 William was invited as a principal cellist for the Bordeaux festival orchestra, lead by Maxim Vengerov, and was several times principal cello for the RCM orchestra.
