In today’s broadcast we talk to classical musician Julie Aubé about the perplexing issue of focal dystonia, a neurological condition affecting muscles that can cause severe problems for professional musicians and singers or even put an end to their careers. Julie Aubé is a member of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra, where she plays the double bass, and a board member of AMPOS, an organization of professional symphony orchestra musicians that, together with another musicians association, AIE, has just co-sponsored a congress on focal dystonia in Madrid. The three-day congress ended with a sold-out benefit concert in which an ad hoc orchestra made up of members from all of Spain’s nearly 30 symphony orchestras was conducted by Luis Cobos. The interview is preceded by a brief look at the news.
