TEA WITH NETTY #36: OAE’s PRINCIPAL TIMPANIST ADRIAN BENDING 13 January 2023

OAE's Principal Timpanist Adrian Bending joins Netty for tea and talks about the approaches to playing the timpani to some of his ear-bending revelations and everything in-between.

Adrian Bending rewinds back to an unexpected occurrence in his early life to the start of his musical journey and chats with Netty about the development of the timpani along with many intriguing stories.

Tea with Netty is the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s podcast hosted by viola player Annette Isserlis (Netty). Over a cuppa (or something a little stronger…), Netty chats with a variety of conductors, players and other guests as she ‘spills the tea’ on the side of classical music you don’t normally hear.
