74/ TIANYI LU
EPISODE 74
She is the Conductor-In-Residence with the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, the inaugural Female-Conductor-In-Residence at the Welsh National Opera and principal conductor of the St. Woolos Sinfonia. She was the first woman to win the Guido Cantelli, won the Sir Georg Solti International and is our latest guest on the Do More Good podcast.
Kenneth immediately takes the opportunity to audition whilst James relives some further embarrassment from his youth, before Tianyi tells us why she loves Wales and clocking up the airmiles. There’s the pressure of creating a masterpiece on the fly, developing resilience and the power of compassion. We talk teaching methods, how to command a room and becoming a trailblazing rolemodel for future generations. The boys bag a ticket to Tianyi’s next performance, Kenneth takes the dog walk high-brow and we hear Mozart’s latest hit in an absolute classic of a DMG.
