Episode 6: Ben Northey Music was in Benjamin Northey's blood from a young age, and he credits his teachers at Ballarat Clarendon College for encouraging his path into music where he studied flute, clarinet and saxophone. But it was the belief and mentorship of John Hopkins who encouraged Ben, at age 29, to be the first candidate for his new Master of Music in Conducting degree at the Victorian College of the Arts and Music that he will never forget. Now as Chief Conductor of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor, Artistic Advisor Learning and Engagement of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Ben says he's one of the luckiest people he knows because he loves what he does. From conducting orchestras the world over, to collaborating with big names including Tim Minchin, James Morrison, Sting and Hilltop Hoods, Ben is living his dream and is ever grateful for those who helped him get there.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously   CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Benjamin Northey:   To learn more about Ben: Ben on Instagram Ben on LinkedIn Benjamin Northey website Ben Northey on Wikipedia Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Ben Northey Christchurch Symphony Orchestra: Ben Northey   Links from this episode: Edward Elgar: English composer Finland's Sibelius Academy Vladimir Jurowsky: Conductor John Hopkins: Conductor & mentor London Philharmonic Orchestra   Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I Linktree  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emma Eden is currently the principal horn with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. She's a proud Kiwi, who grew up in Timaru before going on to study the french horn at Massey University in Wellington. Since graduating, Emma has received several scholarships which have enabled her to travel and study around the world including in Canada and Germany.  Emma has performed in all of New Zealand's major orchestras, as well as the Melbourne and Sydney Symphony Orchestras and has performed numerous times as a soloist. In 2009 Emma won the principal 3rd horn job in the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, a position she enjoyed for over ten years. In 2020 Emma moved back to the South Island and joined the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra as principal horn. Emma is passionate about music education and believes the skills you acquire while learning an instrument or performing in an ensemble are invaluable for building confident, passionate, resilient and hard working individuals.  "I love my job. Yes at times it's stressful. Yes at times it's hard. And it's hard to keep up a high standard all the time. Sometimes things happen in life and you've still got to go on the stage and put a smile on your face and perform. But I think overall, I just feel really grateful that I can get up and honestly say, "I love my job."
