Tea with Netty: OAE Projects Team Sophie Adams and Ed Ault

In the latest episode, OAE Projects team members Sophie Adams and Ed Ault join Netty for a cuppa and a chat backstage at the Royal Festival Hall. They discuss life on the farm - surprisingly not so dissimilar to running an orchestra - harpsichords on the roof, airport mishaps, filming fun, unexpected duties, and more. There are plenty of laughs in this one!Sophie reflects on her upbringing on a dairy farm, drawing unexpected parallels between moving cattle and herding musicians during concert days and tours. Ed takes us inside his deeply musical household, where his passion for classical music began at an early age as an orchestral percussionist. He recalls his first project with the OAE at the height of the pandemic, sharing what it was like when the world suddenly went digital.Together, Sophie and Ed share quirky insider stories, unexpected moments, and favourite memories from their time at the OAE. They also recount amusing interactions with students at their home base at Acland Burghley School, reflecting on the growth and development of the Dreamchasing Young Producers. Get a glimpse behind the scenes of what it takes to bring a performance to life and on the road.--Tea with Netty is the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s podcast hosted by viola player Annette Isserlis (Netty). Over a cuppa (or something a little stronger…), Netty chats with a variety of conductors, players and other guests as she ‘spills the tea’ on the side of classical music you don’t normally hear.Available as Apple podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, TuneIn+Alexa
