The Nutmeg Suite by Tiffany STRACHAN'18


While at Branksome Hall Tiffany STRACHAN'18 achieved High Honours in Grade 11 Music and received her Music Pin before heading to the Berklee College of Music. 


Fast forward to 2024 when the country of Grenada was celebrating their 50th Anniversary. This was the perfect opportunity for Tiffany to share her love for her home country through the composition of The Nutmeg Suite. 


We're so proud to share about Tiffany's creation with the rest of the Branksome community.
