Meet WNO

Angus West

Section Principal Horn

Angus studied at the Royal Northern College of Music from 1978-82.

Prior to joining WNO, Angus worked as a contract player with Opera North and The Hallé. He was also an extra player with the Northern Sinfonia, BBC Northern/Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Scottish Opera amongst others.

Away from WNO, Angus enjoys walking in the countryside, sourcing and drinking great wines, listening to and performing music.
