I first met June when I joined the London Symphony Orchestra’s administration team in the 70’s. She is professional and very smart with an incredible knowledge of classical music. We became life-long friends – a friendship filled with laughter and occasional sadness.
This book is a candid memoir of a career devoted to music. It’s filled with anecdotes that are sometimes funny, sometimes sad but always told with impeccable taste and knowledge of the world of music. I am very lucky and proud to be able to call June my great friend.
