IntoViola's Podcast

First of all, we apologize for the noise you might be encountering whilst listening to this episode as it had to be recorded virtually. Having said this, we really hope you will still be able to appreciate all the wonderful insight that Henrietta Hill has shared about her life as a professional violist and individual artist. 

In our IntoViola interviews we speak with people who we admire and here is certainly someone worth listening to! 

More about this month's artist: 

From classical to contemporary music; From  performer to educator; Henrietta is a violist that isn't afraid of challenges and trying new things. She studied at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and since, has been part of diverse award-winning chamber music ensembles such as the Alkyona Quartet (2018-2021) and the Trilogy Ensemble .

The pandemic for her has been a time to experiment with new and innovative performance formats, starting the Jumis ensemble , a flexible piano quartet that has been making classical and new music available through their wonderful live streams.

"Henrietta believes in open, exciting programming for live music events and listens to the audience for their musical wishes. Whether a concert, workshop or tailor-made interactive performance, Henrietta believes in high quality Live Music experiences."

En esta primera Entrevista IntoViola, conversamos con una de las violistas más luchadoras de estos tiempos. Felisa Salmerón volvió a su país de origen (México) donde, después de muchos años de estudiar en grandes instituciones extranjeras, como la Universidad de Washington bajo la tutela de Helen Callus y el Conservatorio de Amberes (Bélgica) con Leo De Neve, se propone una misión - conseguir que se respete la viola. Hoy, Felisa es viola principal en dos orquestas, sujeto de inspiración para la composición de nuevas obras para viola y una profesora muy querida por su comunidad. Desde 2015 es directora artística de TIVA - Taller Internacional de Viola de las Américas, un curso que ofrece clases magistrales de alto standing para violistas de todos los niveles.

Lorena Cantó will be sharing with you her thoughts on personal motivation.

-Why do we always demand so much of ourselves? 

-Why are we often dissatisfied with our work? 

-Why do our expectations fall so often?

From the time we start playing music, we are expected to always perform at our highest level. And this is an unspoken oath which keeps being waived over and over in front of our eyes throughout our career. In this episode I will be giving you tips to find motivation by...Picking the right pieces, Turning round your auditions, Valuing what you do & Saying no to Saturation

¿Porqué siempre nos exigimos tanto? ¿Porqué siempre estamos insatisfechos con nuestro trabajo? ¿Porqué nuestras expectativas se vienen abajo muchas veces? Carla Ortega nos da sus consejos de motivación.
