What are you listening to?
Episode description
If you’re playing and listening to music all day for your job, what do you listen to the rest of the time? In this final episode of Series 6, YolanDa Brown sits down with Simon Carrington (principal timpanist) and Alice Ivy-Pemberton (violinist and co-leader of the LPO) to talk about their personal relationship with music…
They discuss music that imbues every day walking with meaning and purpose, getting in the zone while listening to music on the train, and sometimes just needing silence (‘nature’s music’!).
They also share experiences of being forced to listen to the music that’s constantly playing in their heads, hearing melody in everyday sounds, and music that sparks very specific memories…
Plus, the best playlist for a dinner party, and the one recording they would take with them to a desert island.
If you have any questions you’d like to put to the musicians, please email [email protected], and you might be featured in Series 7!
