Listen "Olli Mustonen"
Episode Synopsis
Olli Mustonen is music's ultimate triple threat – a virtuosic pianist, an extraordinary conductor, and an outstanding composer. He speaks to host Simon Moore about his start playing the harpsichord from the age of 5 in his native Finland, as well as sharing a story about a misprint in a program which led to him to having to rearrange one of his chamber works for full orchestra, and how he prefers the simple word “musician” to cover his many talents. This conversation is from 2016 when he was visiting Australia to guest direct the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
