Tap into something bigger: creativity, team work and music

Satu Vänskä speaks four languages, has lived all over the world
and is the Principal Violinist of the Australian Chamber
Orchestra.


And as she explains, cancelling a concert had never been an
option. Like most musicians, she’s always lived with an ethos of
“the show must go on”.


She's the latest to join The Leadership Lessons, bringing a
unique perspective to leadership in Australia, and one that
follows a challenging period in live music given COVID
restrictions and continued uncertainty for the arts.


Vänskä currently plays a Stradivarius violin at the Australian
Chamber Orchestra. There are only two of these instruments in
Australia. The violin she plays was built in 1726 by Antonio
Stradivari, who made about 2000 instruments over his lifetime,
out of which only about 600 have survived.


She speaks with host Shirley Chowdhary, sharing her unique global
perspective and why not have a country she feels is "home" gives
her a sense of freedom.


And she explains why every child should have the opportunity to
play an instrument.
