Adelaide Symphony play Beethoven's complete symphonies
| | | | In recent years, music organisations have tried to open up their concert series' to audiences with disability. As we approach International Day of People with Disability, ABC Classic's Ria Andriani explores some of the activities happening in Australia's concert halls to make classical music more accessible.
Also, hear from aspiring musicians, people who work in the music industry, and those who have left, who share their stories in the hope that music can become a universal right for everyone.
Tomorrow (3 December), Ria shares some of her experiences as a soprano in Re-Frame, celebrating Australians living with disability through a diverse showcase of short films and interviews. Catch her on ABC TV and ABC iview at 5:30pm. Or watch Ria's short video series talking to musicians with disability about what hacks they use to make music, the assumptions they encounter and how they’re changing perceptions through their involvement in the music industry. | | |
