My first meeting with Ness and Stefan was when they were in the audience at a concert (not BCCB!) in which I was playing and I was struck then by their joyful enthusiasm for music and music-making. I was also struck by their beautiful relationship with one another and it was lovely to see them both playing at BCCB. Ness was always friendly, kind and welcoming at BCCB and we miss her bassoon playing. Thank you, Ness.
