Upbeats: Season 4, Episode 20 (Braving The Viola)

After getting some stereotypes out of the way - viola jokes, composers who played viola, best viola shreds - Haz and JJ explore the wonders of the instrument, from how it got its name, via lesser known orchestral moments, through to solo works that put it on the map. Along the way: Lionel Tertis' big-hipped viola, and the connection between violists and basketball players. The perfect end to the season!Listen to the Braving the Stave playlist hereGrandewch ar y rhestr chwarae Braving the Stave ymaSupport the showwww.artsactive.org.ukEmail [email protected] @artsactiveInstagram artsactivecardiff Facebook artsactive#classicalmusic #artsactive #drjonathanjames #bravingthestave #musicconversations #funfacts #guestspeakers #cardiff #cardiffclassical
