Hiya space cadets
I'm listening to a Radio National interview with the chief conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, David Robertson.
Here's the link: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/musicshow/david-robertson/5684412

Hi @BatGuano, not sure if you're still active on the Forums, but I just thought I'd let you know that tonight's Topic Tuesday is on music therapy. You can join us here from 7pm (that's in half an hour!) to chat about music as therapy and ask questions of our special guest, registered music therapist Lisa-Marie.
