Series How to Listen

with Sakari Oramo

Music Matters

Available for 23 days

Ahead of this year's 麻豆社 Proms, Sakari Oramo, chief conductor of the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra opens a window into the art - and the joy - of attentive listening. Today, Sakari explores the act of listening itself - what are we doing when we listen to music and what do we actually hear? He'll also explore how our preconceptions about a piece of music or a composer might influence our listening experience, how different interpretations of the same piece can unlock new ways of listening, and gives his own opinion on how we should prepare ourselves to listen to music we have never heard before. Presenter: Sakari Oramo Producer: Sam Phillips A Tandem Production for 麻豆社 Radio 3
