Clive Gillinson: All I knew was how musicians think

Clive Gillinson: All I knew was how musicians think

The Carnegie Hall director Sir Clive Gillinson is the latest guest on David Krauss’s Speaking Soundly.

Clive talks about getting thrown out of the National Youth Orchestra, being catapulted from the cellos to the manager’s seat at the London Symphony Orchestra and how he had to retune his mind from playing music to raising money.

And then there’s the personal stuff – being born in Palestine, raised on a farm in Kenya, coping with his father leaving the family.

Fascinating.

Listen here.
