ISABELLE ALLEN

After finishing at St Paul’s I went to Kings Langley Rudolf Steiner School, and after finishing my GCSE’s, I went to St Marylebone sixth form for my A levels. I am now in my second year at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, studying Violin. 

St Paul’s gave me so much in so many ways, but what I hold close to me still, are the memories of the festivals and the times when we all came together as a community to make something happen. It’s a constant reminder to me every day, of how important it is to make contact with people in our daily lives, and that the importance of coming together as a society for celebration or change is integral to our well-being, and is a reminder to remain open to those around us. Especially in times of hardship. 

I hope to bring this into my studies and work in the future; making sure music remains accessible to everyone. In the future, I’d really like to work closely with schools and music teachers to enable music learning to get to everyone. 

I am a passionate chamber music player, with multiple regular groups. Often giving small concerts in London and around the country.
