What can producing an orchestral concert teach you about engineering a live punk rock show? In today’s episode we chat to musician, sound engineer, and Sound Production alumna, Olivia Aquilina.

Coming from a background of producing live gigs in Adelaide, Oliva talks to us about about what it’s like to come to an AYO program without possessing a classical music background, working in collaboration, and she gives her top tips to everyone thinking about applying for an AYO program.

Have you ever wondered how our musicians deal with the challenges of approaching difficult repertoire?

We sat down with AYO flautist, Jemima Drews, and AYO flute tutor, Lisa-Maree Amos to talk a little bit about how they tackled Debussy’s notoriously tricky “Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune” (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) earlier this year at our Autumn Music Camp.

What was that first piece you heard that made you love classical music? What does the music mean to you now and how can we make it accessible to more audiences? We asked the next generation of young musicians at AYO Autumn Music Camp about their introduction to classical music and a rundown of their favourites from then to now.

Hear from violinist Robyn Blann, bassoonist Tiger Chou, horn player Simon Jones and percussionist Carissa Soares.
