Helena Rathbone has long been a central and beloved figure in Australia's musical life. As Principal Violin and sometimes leader of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, she brings both incisive musicianship and deep artistic integrity to everything she touches. She's equally at home leading string ensembles, mentoring young musicians, or stepping into a solo spotlight.In this wide-ranging and warm interview, Helena reflects on her rich musical life as Principal Violin of the ACO and co-director of the upcoming ACO Unleashed tour. She shares stories from her musical upbringing in a singing family, her training in the UK including at the Guildhall School of Music, her experiences with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, and her decision to move to Australia to join the ACO 30 years ago. She talks about her passion for mentoring young musicians through the ACO's emerging artist programs, her treasured Stradivarius violin, and the emotional significance behind her music choices.Helena Rathbone co-directs the Australian Chamber Orchestra for ACO Unleashed around Australia from June 21 to July 2.

Violinist and musical director Peau Halapua talks to Jesse about her life, career, and favourite things. 

Yasi and Steven talk with the energetic Jesùs Florido, a one-time competitive tennis player turned professional violinist, composer, producer and entrepreneur. An innovator at heart, Jesus takes you through his athletic career, its unintended impact in his musical development, his unique musical fusion style, developing into a music virtuoso, and his work in developing music careers through the Màs y Màs Music Foundation.For more on Jesùs' career, go to https://www.jesusflorido.comInstagram: @latinfiddlerBio: With his debut, Heading North, violinist, composer, and bandleader Jesus Florido introduces compelling artistry balanced on a fine axis of musical virtuosity and pure heart. "This album came about from what is not out there from an instrumental point of view," he explains. "Jazz, rock, classical, Latin -- my album is a melting pot."The savory list of sonic influences can be traced back to Venezuela, Jesus' home, and its pastiche of Cuban, Dominican, Trinidadian, and African cultures. Jesus' family is Italian, and in the grand European tradition, opera and classical music also informed his early years.He arrived in the U.S. to further his studies in musical academia but was soon performing in cavernous arenas to enormous audiences with Yo-Yo Ma, the Moody Blues, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, and Whitney Houston. This high-profile exposure fueled the fire to ignite his own solo career.Heading North is notable for the contributions of the musicians, producers, engineers, and programmers who join Jesus. "It was important to me that project was different from the get-go," he relates. "I wanted to communicate on a higher level." Heading North features a superlative ensemble.Jesus composes in an unconventional miracle of pure inspiration, building songs from a rhythmic and harmonic base -- chords and a drumbeat -- then improvising on top of them. "I may clean it up, but I assure you, on every track what you hear is exactly what came through my head at that moment. To write fresh music I have to recall exactly how I felt about the tune the first time I heard it," he reveals.Across this vivid spectrum of music, the unmistakable timbre of Jesus' violin remains an indelible voice connecting the songs that comprise Heading North. From the sophisticated veneer of the title track to the incendiary Latin grooves of "Mi Negra," the prog-rock influenced "Con Todo," the electro-Santeria vibe of "Gitano" to the funk-informed "Olividado," Jesus bends rhythmic and melodic structures to his will. "Every song is a story without words," he relates. "If I can tell it to the audience when they listen to my record, then I've succeeded." With his violin as a compass, Jesus Florido heads toward a limitless musical horizon with a stunning debut, Heading North."

The violin has a storied place in so much of European classical music. But sometime in the 17th century, it began to intrigue maestros from a very different and ancient music tradition. Fred de Sam Lazaro has the story of one American violinist who sought to explore what’s become known as the Carnatic violin. It's for our arts and cultures series, CANVAS.

This story was written by Megan Westberg for the May-June 2025 issue of Strings magazine and is read by the author.It is an impassioned voice. A raised female voice. “Human life, for us, is sacred,” she says. Music swells beneath her. Bittersweet. Soaring. Rushing in and then retreating. She goes on. “For as we say, if any life is to be sacrificed, it shall be ours.” Orchestral crescendos punctuate her phrases, diminishing on a dime as her voice turns to soprano gravel from shouting. “They'll have to choose between giving us freedom—or giving us death.”  Support the show

Ciao and Welcome to Life in Lucca with Andrea…My guest today is Debra Fast; her story is the stuff of dreams. When Debra graduated from Music School, she embraced the opportunity to play Violin with a string quartet on Cruise ships where she met the Italian pianist, Sandro Ivo Bartoli, whom she married, and started a new life in Italy. Debra speaks about her dedication to music, and in particular, her professional career as a solo violinist. She tells a mesmerising story; I particularly found her Suono Solo project, with its links to the 18th century Lucchese composer, Geminiani, fascinating. Debra is a very talented and creative musician and her enthusiasm and encouragement extends beyond her own career to that of others, for example, you will hear about her research into female musicians from her birth country, Canada. **Debra Fast will be performing in "Lucca Classica" on the 24th of April 2025, at 3.pm at the Museo Nazionale di Villa Guinigi, Lucca.**Connect with DebraYouTube Channel: Debra Fast, Violinist https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNx_eSIve99gUKQH9In6lKgFacebook: Debra Fast, violinist: https://www.facebook.com/debrafast.violinist/LinkedIn: Debra Fast, violinist

What happens when one of the world's greatest violinists plays a million-dollar instrument… in a subway station? Will anyone stop to listen? In this episode, we dive into a powerful real-life experiment that challenges how we see art, talent, and everyday beauty. You'll hear the story of Joshua Bell's anonymous subway performance, the unexpected art stunt pulled by Banksy in Central Park, and even a surprise appearance by Ed Sheeran in disguise. Through these stories, we'll explore the importance of context, the influence of perception, and ask—how many amazing things are we missing just because we're in a rush? Plus, you'll learn useful vocabulary, expressions, and get some great conversation starters for your next English class or dinner chat.

Giacomo Casanova, entnehmen wir seinem Wikipedia-Eintrag, war „promovierter Jurist, Schriftsteller und Bibliothekar, Dichter, Philosoph und Übersetzer, Chemiker, Alchemist, und Mathematiker, Historiker und Diplomat, Glücksspieler und Geheimagent, Freimaurer und Abenteurer“; auch sein Wirken als Violinist und Kleriker beschreibt der Artikel im Weiteren noch. An all das denken wir in der Regel freilich nicht, wenn sein Name genannt wird. Heute, im Jahr seines 300. Geburtstages, ist sein Name genau wie vor zweihundert Jahren, als man ihm zum 200. gratulierte, vielmehr Synonym für erotische Ausschweifungen und deren literarische Verarbeitung. All das verleugnete die Würdigung des sozialdemokratischen Hamburger Echo vom 2. April 1925 nicht; immerhin benennt der Artikel aber auch noch ein historisch-materialistisches Argument, weshalb man sich mit Casanova befassen dürfe. Welches, weiß Frank Riede.

A black-and-white photograph shows 11 young Chinese boys in untucked shirts standing in a row, with a middle-aged Western man in a suit smiling behind them.This image would lead Fang Sheng on a journey to uncover his father's musical past and the identity of the mysterious "Mr. Adler," — a Jewish refugee who fled to Shanghai during World War II to escape the Nazis.In Finding Adler, we follow Fang as he pieces together how an orphaned Chinese child became one of the founding members of China's National Symphony Orchestra with the help of an Austrian violinist named Ferdinand Adler. Produced by Sharon Wu and Liz Hoath / this documentary first aired on The Current back in 2018.Storylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit

forårsblomster og fuglesang.En: The school was situated in the middle of the beautiful landscape, surrounded by blooming spring flowers and birdsong.Da: De mange elever glædede sig til forårskoncerten, der skulle markere påskeferien.En: The many students looked forward to the spring concert, which would mark the Easter holiday.Da: Lars havde altid været god til at spille violin.En: Lars had always been good at playing the violin.Da: Hans fingerspil var imponerende, men han var genert og havde en frygt for at stå foran et publikum.En: His fingerwork was impressive, but he was shy and had a fear of standing in front of an audience.Da: Hver gang tanken om at spille alene dukkede op, blev hans hænder svedige, og hans hjerte hamrede.En: Every time the thought of playing alone came up, his hands got sweaty, and his heart pounded.Da: Astrid var hans nære ven.En: Astrid was his close friend.Da: Hun var lys og strålende som solen og troede på Lars, mere end han troede på sig selv.En: She was bright and radiant like the sun and believed in Lars more than he believed in himself.Da: "Du kan det, Lars," sagde hun tit.En: "You can do it, Lars," she often said.Da: "Publikum vil elske at høre dig spille."En: "The audience will love to hear you play."Da: Dagene op til koncerten gik hurtigt.En: The days leading up to the concert passed quickly.Da: Påskeæg og farverige dekorationer prydede koncertsalen.En: Easter eggs and colorful decorations adorned the concert hall.Da: Alle forberedte sig, og Lars vidste, at han måtte tage en beslutning.En: Everyone prepared, and Lars knew he had to make a decision.Da: Skulle han spille solo?En: Should he play solo?Da: "Astrid, jeg tør ikke," sagde Lars en aften.En: "Astrid, I don't dare," said Lars one evening.Da: Selv tvivlen havde slået rod i hans sind.En: Self-doubt had taken root in his mind.Da: "Hvad nu hvis jeg laver fejl?"En: "What if I make mistakes?"Da: Astrid kiggede ham dybt i øjnene.En: Astrid looked deeply into his eyes.Da: "Vi øver sammen, Lars.En: "We'll practice together, Lars.Da: Jeg ved, det vil gå godt," sagde hun med sin vanlige selvsikkerhed.En: I know it will go well," she said with her usual confidence.Da: De to venner trak sig tilbage til musiklokalet og spillede den melodi, Lars elskede mest.En: The two friends retreated to the music room and played the melody Lars loved most.Da: Tonerne flød gennem aftenluften som en stille strøm.En: The tones flowed through the evening air like a quiet stream.Da: Endelig kom dagen for den sidste prøve.En: Finally, the day for the final rehearsal arrived.Da: Lars' nerver var som en storm indeni.En: Lars's nerves were like a storm inside.Da: Skulle han lade frygten vinde og trække sig tilbage til orkestret?En: Should he let fear win and retreat to the orchestra?Da: "Min ven," sagde Astrid blidt, da hun så hans usikkerhed.En: "My friend," said Astrid gently when she saw his uncertainty.Da: "Tænk på det smil, du bringer til folk med musikken.En: "Think about the smile you bring to people with the music.Da: Tænk på den glæde."En: Think about the joy."Da: Mørket udenfor blev til lys, og Lars indså, at han måtte tage chancen.En: The darkness outside turned to light, and Lars realized he had to take the chance.Da: Under koncerten, omgivet af blomsterkranse og påskeæg, trådte han frem alene på scenen.En: During the concert, surrounded by flower wreaths and Easter eggs, he stepped forward alone on the stage.Da: Han tog en dyb indånding, pinden på hans violin begyndte at bevæge sig, og melodien strømmede ud.En: He took a deep breath, the bow on his violin started to move, and the melody flowed out.Da: Den begyndte vaklende, men snart greb musikken ham.En: It began faltering, but soon the music seized him.Da: Publikum blev stille, fanget af hans spil.En: The audience fell silent, captivated by his play.Da: Da han sluttede, fyldte klapsalver rummet, og Lars smilede med sand glæde i hjertet.En: When he finished, applause filled the room, and Lars smiled with true joy in his heart.Da: Efter forestillingen gik Lars og Astrid udenfor, hvor de første stjerner tændtes på nattehimlen.En: After the performance, Lars and Astrid went outside, where the first stars lit up the night sky.Da: "Du gjorde det, Lars," sagde Astrid stolt.En: "You did it, Lars," said Astrid proudly.Da: "Tak, Astrid," svarede Lars.En: "Thank you, Astrid," replied Lars.Da: Han vidste nu, at trods frygt, kan man finde styrken til at dele det, man elsker.En: He now knew that despite fear, one can find the strength to share what they love.Da: Han gik væk fra koncerten med mere end bare et bifald.En: He walked away from the concert with more than just applause.Da: Han gik væk med tilliden til sig selv og betydningen af venskab.En: He walked away with confidence in himself and the meaning of friendship.

Strap on your axe, and join the Hosts on a wild ride tracing the haunted strings of Rock N' Roll back to its legendarily devilish roots. We start with Niccolò Paganini, the original “Devil's Violinist,” whose near supernatural skills on the violin were claimed to be infernal in origin.But at the center of the story is Robert Johnson, the Delta blues legend who allegedly sold his everlasting soul for mastery at his musical craft. Late on evening at dark, dusty Mississippi crossroads, Johnson met the devil himself to strike the bargain - and the rest is Rock history. Buckle up as as we crank it to eleven, and explore how these eerie legends have woven themselves into the very DNA of rock, echoing through its history with a chilling, thrilling resonance. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Rock N' Roll & The Occult Vol. 1: "The Devil At The Crossroads!"Music and Editing by Gage Hurley #CreepStreetPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast #ParanormalPodcast #HorrorPodcast #GhostStories #UrbanLegends #UnsolvedMysteries #CreepyTales #Supernatural #Haunted #TrueCrimeCommunity #Occult #Cryptozoology #SpookyStories #DarkHistory #Mystery #CreepyPasta #FolkloreThursday #PodernFamily #ListenToThis
