We take a thrilling journey into Redmond's creative process, how he brings concerts alive and makes the orchestra the star of the show - all with a dash of imagination. Our conversation doesn't stop at the art of music, we also dive into the heart of music education and the future of orchestras. Tim shares his unique approach to conducting family and education shows, revealing how to strike a balance that allows both the orchestra and presenter to shine. We also hit on the changing tides of classical music and the art of networking for young conductors. But we don't shy away from the hard parts - managing difficult musicians, the role of psychology in it, and the challenges of being an arts entrepreneur. Yet, with Tim's invaluable artistic and entrepreneurial advice, we learn that the rewards are worth the hurdles, and above all, the importance of making arts accessible to all. So sit back and let the orchestra play on!
