This Is Your Life: Michael Wilson

Michael WILSON

THIS IS YOUR LIFE - Michael Wilson, musician and charity worker, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the BBC Television Theatre.

After studying at the Royal College of Music, Michael gave up his career as a violinist to help establish the Sunfield Care Home in Selly Oak, Birmingham.

Established in 1930, Sunfield provides education for children with severe and complex learning needs through both music therapy, based on the principles of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, and colour light therapy as developed by Michael.
