In this episode, Adrienne chats to local classical musician Ben Opie about the origins of his love for the oboe and the different directions his career has taken as a professional musician and facilitator. The two discuss Ben’s ensemble Inventi and his passion for musical outreach programs, especially in the digital age, to connect with those who may otherwise remain isolated.
