Felicity Woodhill

I originally studied law, specialising in international environmental and fisheries law and became actively involved in Montessori education when my children were young. Coming from a family of strong musical traditions and in response to my daughter’s journey as a violinist, I have more recently become involved in supporting the development of young classical musicians through facilitating greater performance opportunities. This involvement began in the United States where I became and remain a Board member for Music for Youth, I am currently in the process of setting up a similar organisation in Australia to contribute to the development of the then next generation of musicians.
