Episode 94 - Alice Farnham

Alice Farnham and I seemed to have quite a few things in common and I really enjoyed chatting with her - we had a very warm and open conversation together. She had so many fond memories of studying with the great Ilya Musin, we had a fascinating discussion about teaching young women conducting, and I discovered what her multi-instrumental ”party trick” used to be! This is the link I mentioned on the podcast episode of Musin conducting Strauss’ Don Juan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-NDx2cOYMc If you would like to join the supporters club for this podcast and find out more about the world of conducting and conductors, why not subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/amiconthepodium, and for a monthly fee starting from just £5 a month, you can access two new series of interviews, group Zoom meetings with other fans of the podcast and myself, a monthly bulletin about the podcast and my own career as well as articles, photos, videos and even conducting lessons from myself.
