Celebrated Australian conductor Benjamin Northey talks to Sam just after the 20th anniversary of his association with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Ben talks about the intersection between orchestras and social change. He also shares some of the initiatives and approaches to cultural leadership in another orchestra close to his heart, the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, where he is Chief Conductor.
Ben talks about the role of orchestras and orchestral music in our society, developing and training for aspiring Australian conductors and how arts and culture has become more influential in national discussions. Ben reminds us to celebrate Australian talent and that - ultimately - music is about joy.
