Principal Bassoon Richard Ion on his journey with the bassoon

"As soon as I started playing it I just loved it. The range, the different colours and characters you can make... if anyone picked it up they would definitely play it for a long time."
Richard Ion chatted to us about his journey as a bassoonist, the versatility of the instrument and being Principal Bassoon with the Orchestra.
