Facing Challenges

Australian Youth Orchestra

Have you ever wondered how our musicians deal with the challenges of approaching difficult repertoire? We sat down with AYO flautist, Jemima Drews, and AYO flute tutor, Lisa-Maree Amos to talk a little bit about how they tackled Debussy’s notoriously tricky “Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune” (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) earlier this year at our Autumn Music Camp. We'd like to acknowledge we’ve recorded this podcast on the traditional lands of the Kulin Nations and pay our respects to Elders both past, present and future.
