QUOTES “My brother and I had no option, it (music) was a life skill as far as we were concerned. We had music from 5am to 2am constantly, that’s all we knew and did.” “I realised they (orchestras) were starting to go bankrupt, I was talking to other musicians and asked ‘what are you going to do’ and they said ‘what else CAN I do I can’t do anything else' and I never felt that way.” “Going to law school was very difficult, it wasn’t an easy transition. I was lucky that I was open minded.” “How am I going to make the facts sing in the most persuasive way.” “How I hear is very different to most people, I’m a very literal person. I hear things very specifically, as a result I probably articulate things very specifically as well.” "Music teachers are very direct and blunt, that is now necessarily how people communicate with each other. I had to learn better about how people communicate outside the music world." “Chamber music is an intense working environment, the same as working with a trial team for a jury. We perfect the work to a point where people could understand where we could go with it.” LINKS Lisa Kobialka PODCAST TEAM Production Support from Molly Jenkins Audio Engineering from Frazer Ruddick Theme Music Composed by Danna Yun Theme Music Performed by Jasper Ly RECORDED Recorded on 16 July 2021
