In the lead-up to Christmas, we'll will be premiering a number of films on OAE Player.

Netty and David get to rehearsals early so they have time for a bit of a chat about everything from Brandenburg Concertos to grand-parenting.

Kicking off the first Tea with Netty in 2023, OAE's Principal Timpanist Adrian Bending joins Netty for a chat in our bustling residency at Acland Burghley School.

Netty finds the time for a chat with the very in demand Jonathan Cohen at our summer residence in Glyndebourne.

We are delighted to announce that Katherine Spencer has been appointed as our new principal clarinet.

From humble and, let’s face it, slightly impractical beginnings we find out how the timpani come to be the sound of so many great musical (and historical) moments.

Katharina Spreckelsen explains why we've put together a composer and a poet who live over a hundred years apart.

OAE leader Matthew Truscott joins Netty for tea and takes us on a (boat) ride through his musical career, reminisces about long-standing OAE friendships and recalls a startling find under the house.

OAE Principal clarinet Katherine Spencer joins Netty for a cuppa in a brimming episode.

Lisa Beznosiuk, our principal flute, gives us a quick insight into the instruments she is currently using.
