AYO Podcast - Timo-Veikko Valve and Julia Hill Explore Music Across Continents

In 'Between Worlds', ACO Principal Cellist Timo-Veikko “Tipi” Valve joins AYO Momentum Ensemble for two concerts this November at UKARIA in the Adelaide Hills and ACO on the Pier in Sydney. In conversation with Momentum Ensemble violinist and AYO Media and Communication Fellow Julia Hill, Tipi shares how the program reflects his journey between Finland and Australia. Featuring works like Jaako Kuusisto’s 'Wiima', Tipi hopes to transport audiences to the stark beauty of a Finnish winter while celebrating Australia’s open, creative musical culture that has shaped his artistry over 20 years. He discusses the collaborative nature of directing from the cello, curating pieces to spark fresh perspectives, and encourages young musicians to find their own voice and embrace freedom in music-making. Tipi looks forward to learning from AYO musicians during this exciting week of discovery and performance.

Have you ever wondered how our musicians deal with the challenges of approaching difficult repertoire? We sat down with AYO flautist, Jemima Drews, and AYO flute tutor, Lisa-Maree Amos to talk a little bit about how they tackled Debussy’s notoriously tricky “Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune” (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) earlier this year at our Autumn Music Camp.
