When Claudia plays with the full orchestra you can usually spot her in the middle left of the stage with fellow horn players, between the violinists and percussionists.

'When we play our brass and percussion concerts in St David’s cathedral, the room is the other half of our instrument. The music really fills the space and creates a rich, resonant sound. It’s also a really beautiful building.'
