About Jean…

Jean Fletcher comes from a highly musical family. Born in Yorkshire, she studied the violin with Eta Cohen and then at the RCM in London with Hugh Bean and Frederick Grinke. She led the Heller String Quartet in Bermuda. The Hellers were the first quartet to be invited by Sir Yehudi Menuhin to go to Bermuda to set up a string teaching programme and be involved in the musical activities on the island. Jean later became Principal violin with the Ulster Orchestra before taking up a teaching position in her hometown Doncaster. In 2006 Jean moved to Aberdeenshire in Scotland where she taught in schools before retiring, and now teaches privately. She is leader of the Aberdeen Chamber Orchestra and leads the 2nd violins in Aberdeen Sinfonietta. Jean was invited to be Concert Master of the Menuhin Foundation String Orchestra at the Bermuda Festival in February 2016. The Heller Ensemble has been reformed, with Ruth Kalitski (second violin), Sandra Thompson (viola), Gareth John (cello) and Blair Cargill (piano).
