Musicians with disability share their experiences in new video series

Braille specialist, journalist and musician, Ria Andriani, hosts our new video series exploring the experiences of musicians with disability.
Through the four-part series, Ria interviews different musicians 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.
In the first episode, available now, soprano Jordie Howell talks about performing opera as a blind person, and explores how the opera industry could be more accessible for musicians and singers who are blind.

You can watch the next episodes over the coming weeks, featuring composer and filmaker, Damon Smith, percussionist Tessa Gutierrez and Auslan Choir Master Tallula Bourne. Episodes will be available on the ABC Classic website and social media.
