Arun Menon

Picture
Arun Menon was born in London and began his music studies at the Newham Academy. He studied viola with Simon Rowland-Jones and Andriy Viytovych and violin with Dona Lee Croft at the Royal College of Music, where he gained bachelors and masters degrees. Whilst a student there he was a winner of the Royal Overseas League Bernard Shore Viola Competition and co-principal of Southbank Sinfonia. 

As an orchestral musician he has been a regular extra player with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the London Symphony Orchestra, as well as a frequent guest principal and co-principal with Birmingham Royal Ballet, and he now also works as a doctor in the NHS.

Gruffydd Owen studied piano and viola at the Guildhall School of Music, where he developed a keen interest in chamber music on both instruments. As a pianist, he has recorded the Poulenc Sextet (with wind quintet) and was a member of the viola section of the Royal Ballet Sinfonia for many years.
