Show Notes

YolanDa Brown finds out what it’s like for some of the LPO players who have move to the UK to live and work in London. Yang moved to London from China, Nynke from the Netherlands and Hugh from Australia, so how do their diverse cultural backgrounds coalesce in the UK? They discuss issues relating to family and friends in far off countries, different approaches to programming and orchestral auditions, and it wouldn’t be possible to make this episode without talking about Brexit and what that might mean for musicians from outside the UK working in London. Produced by Tandem Productions for the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
