Minnie Elliott
General Manager
Originating from St Albans but currently based in Manchester, Minnie has recently graduated from the University of Manchester with a BA in Music , predominantly focussing on performance and musicology. Minnie’s love of music originally began with piano but has since carried on through a passion for the double bass, of which she has performed in numerous ensembles including the University of Manchester Symphony Orchestra, Hertfordshire Schools Symphony Orchestra, Hertfordshire County Orchestra, and several esteemed ensembles conducted by the likes of Sian Edwards, Peter Stark, and Robert Guy. Likewise, Minnie has performed in several venues such as the RNCM Concert Hall, The Stoller Hall, Barbican, Buxton international festival and has even conducted in the Église de La Magdelaine in Paris.
Minnie was also fortunate enough to win the Benslow String Award in 2019 and was gifted an exceptional double bass, of which she is very grateful to Benslow Music Service for recently extending her loan.
​
Aside from the double bass, Minnie was heavily involved in the University of Manchester Music Society, initially as a performer, before becoming the personnel manager in her second year, and the president of the music society in her final year. Following on from her graduation, Minnie now works for the Hallé orchestra as administrator for their Youth Choir and Youth Orchestra, and is excited to pursue a career in orchestral management.
