Ep 9 - In the Middle
Monday, 31 May, 2021
Stuck in the middle of the virtuosic violins and the charming celli, the viola seldom gets the spotlight and has been the butt of many an orchestral joke. This episode we talk about a beautiful and often misunderstood inner voice of the orchestra with the help of some of our amazing ESO violists. “Tune in” as we answer the age old questions: What is a viola? What makes them so unique? And why-oh-why are there so many viola jokes? Featuring the voices of Principal Violist Keith Hamm and Assistant Principal Violist Ethan Filner.
