Meet the Orchestra

Franck Leprince

Leader of the Orchestra

Franck is a highly experienced music professional (violinist, arranger and orchestrator). His string quartet and orchestral arrangements in particular are regular performed in several countries and also appear on YouTube and Spotify. He has led our orchestra for over twenty years and also provides the artwork for our posters and programmes. We are very lucky to have his expertise.

Sheridan Bartlett

Sheridan honed his conducting skills working under the guidance of Maxime Tortelier, Rui Pinheiro (both holders of the BSO ‘Young Conductor in Association’ post) and Chris Davies (The Royal Marines). Since becoming the Musical Director for Poole Light Orchestra in 2005, Sheridan’s conducting skills have been in demand. Credits include work with the New Forest Orchestra, Westbourne Orchestra, Millstream, St Aldhelm’s Orchestra and The Orchestra of the Bournemouth Philharmonic Society.
