Clara Pascall

Clara, a professional cello teacher and performer, has been a valued member of the NYO tutor team for some years. Having taken a break to start a family, NYO was delighted that she has returned to support the senior orchestra's cello section.

Clara comes from a musical family starting the piano at an early age but quickly deciding to swap to the cello, copying her mum and older sister. It was whilst at music college in Wales that she realised just how much she loved playing, particularly in ensembles. It was also here that she realised the difference an inspirational teacher can make, deciding this was the path for her.
