Episode 13 - Mirusia
She's known to millions around the world as the "Angel of Australia" - the name given to her by that famous Dutch violinist, André Rieu. But today, she joins us for a good old Ramble Chat!
Todays guests is the one and only - Mirusia - an Australian born Soprano with Dutch heritage that made her name touring the world with Andre Rieu before a flourishing solo career put her CD’s and DVD’s at number one on the Australian ARIA charts.
We sit down in Brisbane Australia, pre-covid, to discuss her Opera career, performing stadium-size concerts all over the world… we even explore the differences between being Dutch and Australian… in a very silly game I invent called “How do I say this in Dutch” - spoilers I rarely things correctly.
Episode 8 - Guy Noble
How does the conductor of an orchestra think about music? How do they merge those different pieces of the orchestral puzzle and combat yawning audiences, standing ovations, to create programs of music performed in venues like the Sydney Opera House - that are often just as as referred as the composers they are playing.
How does historical art connect with today’s community and drum roll… is music something only reserved for the elite. Or those who are best at it.
Todays Ramble Chat is with Guy Noble one of Australia’s most versatile conductors and musical entertainers.
