"The thing about stealing a violin... the Russian oligarchs aren't in the market anymore" - Richard Tognetti
In this episode you'll meet Richard Tognetti, Artistic Director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra who has been leading the charge for an astonishing 35 years - making him the longest-serving artistic director on the planet!
What’s his secret to staying forever young? Music and surfing, but not at the same time.
This episode is a vibrant celebration of Richard’s remarkable journey, the ACO’s 50th anniversary, his 60th birthday, and a love letter to his hometown, the 'Gong.
On the menu: classic fish and chips wrapped in newspaper, sizzling Japanese izakaya fare, David Thompson’s Nahm Phrik and a dash of Meatloaf, Nutloaf, and the pursuit of pure surfing zen.
Richard's social cause is the ACO Foundations, an in-school program which uses music learning to improve the developmental and educational outcomes of children in low socio-economic status schools.
