London cop runs an emergency-services orchestra

The BBC News website has a report on Detective Sergeant Seb Valentine, who studied at the Royal College of Music before joining the Metropolitan Police.

He has formed the Blue Light Symphony Orchestra, made up of staff from London’s emergency services. Starting with just ten players he has grown the ensemble to 65 and holds the title of music director.

‘Our aim is around mental health and helping people to have a space where they can come together safely and make music for their own mental wellbeing,’ says Sergeant Seb.
