LPO Offstage

Youth vs Experience

Listen on

Episode notes

YolanDa Brown sits down with double bass player Laura Murphy and horn player Gareth Mollison to find out what it means to be an ‘experienced’ musician and how things have changed in the orchestra over the years from technology to travel.


Gareth reveals what’s different about being in the LPO now compared to when he joined in 1986, and Laura muses on what might change in the future. YolanDa also asks the question of when you should put down your instrument for good, and whether the number of years you’ve played means you are a better player... 


Plus, how do you keep up interests outside the orchestra? Both Laura and Gareth reveal some surprising activities beyond their performing life…
