Episode Synopsis
A behind the scenes all access pass to the London Philharmonic Orchestra and its musicians. YolanDa Brown is joined by oboist Alice Mundy and percussionist Keith Millar to chat about that mysterious figure at the centre of the action - the conductor. Are flamboyant gestures for the musicians or the audience? What is it like playing under a conductor who doesn’t use a score? What exactly is a Jingling Johnny? Are conductors even needed?! Plus inside tips for budding young maestros.
