On this episode of the Just the Job Podcast I spoke to Llinos Owen, a classical musician with the orchestra of the Birmingham Royal Ballet and the ReedRage Bassoon Quartet. We talked about the pressure of auditions, the need for patience, why women don’t tend to play certain instruments, hierarchies within the orchestra, recovering from mistakes, being moved to tears, the role of the conductor, and what exactly is the contra-bassoon… not that I don’t know, of course
