Article (i) reads as fan account, (ii) lacks structure, (iii) lacks sufficient references. Sam sung222999222 (talk) 06:47, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reads more like a CV - not what I would expect an encyclopedia entry to be like.146.198.148.141 (talk) 20:11, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Harrow School for Young Musicians[edit]

Adrian was a conductor at Harrow School for Young Musicians (HSYM, Philharmonic Orchestra, Friday nights) for the whole time that I was there I believe, from 1989 to 1996, and possibly longer than that. During my time there we played concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and went on tour to Italy. My favourite memories of playing in an orchestra are with him as conductor (e.g., The Planets and Tchaikovsky Symphony no. 4.) My son played his first concert today, and when I talk to him about what an amazing experience playing in an orchestra can be, I'm thinking back to my time with Adrian as a conductor. So I looked him up here. It was a surprise to me that HSYM isn't mentioned at all. I suppose that while this had a major impact on my life and love of music, it might only be considered minor in relation to everything else he has achieved, which is perhaps why it isn't mentioned. I think it should be though.

Length[edit]

This is a very long article for a relatively minor musical figure. Suggest better structure and more concise use of materials. 86.23.194.137 (talk) 21:06, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
