Staff Team

Miranda Johnson brings leadership experience from roles across the arts, charity, and commercial worlds: most recently at nonclassical, where she worked as Executive Director. Prior to this, Miranda spent many years at Britten Pears Arts, where she was Director of Development as a key member of their leadership team. In 2022, Miranda was awarded a sponsored place as a Duffield Fellow on the Clore Leadership Programme, consolidating her varied experience and building valuable networks across the sector. A former violinist, Miranda was a committed Pro Corda student throughout her teenage years. Now a Mum of two, she is thrilled to be at Pro Corda’s helm to take it into its next phase.

Alongside performing, Colm is an experienced and highly sought-after educator. He currently teaches at The Tiffin Girls’ School and has coached for organisations including the National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britain. After moving to Suffolk in 2024, Colm joined Pro Corda, where he brings his experience as both a performer and teacher to support the next generation of chamber musicians.
