With Sound Stories: A Day in the Life, we’re setting out to uncover the stories behind the music – the people whose lives are built around creativity, dedication, and the art of sound. Each episode offers a rare glimpse into the lives of professionals, revealing not just their work, but the passion and purpose that drive them.
Our first season invites you to step into the shoes of six extraordinary individuals, each with a unique connection to the world of music. From crafting instruments to composing symphonies, these are the voices and hands that shape the music we hear.
You’ll meet a church organist whose work is steeped in tradition, and a music therapist transforming lives through the healing power of music. A composer shares their thoughts on bringing emotion into music, while a pianist reflects on the versatility needed to transition seamlessly between solo performances, chamber ensembles, and larger settings, adapting their touch and interpretation to suit each context. You’ll also hear from an instrument maker whose precision ensures every note is possible, and a conductor who unites musicians to create a singular voice in performance
These are not just stories of professional achievement – they’re human stories of creativity, inspiration, and a love for music that starts with the everyday routine of the individual involved. Sound Stories offers more than a ‘behind the scenes look’; it’s an exploration of how music shapes lives, connects communities, and expresses the inexpressible.
Through this series, we aim to focus on the individuals who spend their lives involved in the music world. Whether you’re a musician, a music lover, or simply curious about the lives of those behind the art, Sound Stories promises a journey filled with insight, emotion, and discovery.
Join us as we shine a light on the unsung heroes of the music world. The first season of Sound Stories: A Day in the Life is launching soon – we hope you will dive in and let the music take you on a journey.
The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
