With politicians often being accused of being ‘on the fiddle’, Isleworth will have the chance to elect one that freely admits to it.
South African born David Juritz has toured the world as a solo violinist and was a member of the English Chamber Orchestra before being appointed leader of the London Mozart Players, a position he held until 2010. He still performs regularly including with the London Tango Quintet and is regularly invited to perform on film and television soundtracks including solo violin in Long Walk to Freedom, The Theory of Everything and Last King of Scotland.
He has now been selected as the prospective candidate for the Hounslow Green Party in Isleworth ward for the May local elections.
Mr Juritz says, “I am a professional musician and have lived in London since 1976. I joined the Green Party in the 1980s because I believe that safeguarding our environment for future generations should be at the heart of all public policy.
While we can all make our own individual contributions as we face the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, those actions have minimal effect unless supported by meaningful action at a governmental level.
“I am a car owner who uses a bicycle (stopping at red lights) as my first choice of transport. I strongly believe that, while going green may require us to make changes, it will lead to more prosperous and happier lives for us all, and ensure that our children enjoy a secure and fulfilling future.”
Isleworth ward is currently represented by Labour councillors Daanish Saeed, Sue Sampson and Salman Shaheen.
