Meet the AYO Episode 26 | Arensky's Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky, with Adrian Biemmi

Australian Youth Orchestra

On the latest episode of the AYO podcast, violinist Adrian Biemmi chats to us about his favourite memory on an AYO program. Last year at National Music Camp 2019, the Weiss Chamber Orchestra performed Anton Arensky’s Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky. The piece evoked an immediate emotional response for Adrian, who had played it for the first time many years beforehand when he had just started out playing violin. Discover more about the piece and Adrian’s AYO experience. We'd like to acknowledge we’ve recorded this podcast on the traditional lands of the Whadjuk and Eora Nations and pay our respects to Elders both past, present and future.
