Have you ever been mesmerised by the lilting sound of a flute in an orchestra? On this week's Talking Flutes 'Revisited' podcast episode, Clare had the pleasure over a dodgy Zoom line with Gareth Davis, the principal flautist of the London Symphony Orchestra. His candid conversation takes us on a journey through the high notes and low notes of a professional musician's life.

Gareth Davis is not just a master of his craft; he's also a storyteller whose early days were filled with music and family singalongs, setting the stage for a remarkable career. His story is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance in the face of adversity. From his initial rejection by major music colleges to becoming a leading figure in the classical music world, Gareth's narrative is as inspiring as it is instructive.

In this episode, you'll learn about the nuances of flute playing, the importance of musical phrasing, and the rigours of auditioning for a World Class orchestra like the LSO. Gareth doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges he faced, including feeling like an imposter and navigating the competitive world of classical music.

But it's not all about the struggles. Gareth's love for music shines through as he talks about his influential teachers, like the remarkable Evelyn Frank, who taught him about the beauty of tone and the importance of colour in music. He also delves into the technical aspects of playing the flute, emphasising the importance of intonation, rhythm, and context in a performance.

Perhaps most compelling is Gareth's perspective on life beyond music. He shares his hobbies, his approach to physical and mental well-being, and the balancing act between a demanding career and a fulfilling personal life.

So, grab your favourite pair of headphones and settle in for an episode that's sure to enlighten and entertain. Whether you're an aspiring musician, a seasoned pro, or simply a lover of beautiful music, Gareth Davis's insights will resonate with you. His story is a reminder that while the path to success is rarely a straight line, it is often the twists and turns that make the journey worthwhile.

Don't miss out on this intimate look into the life of a musician who has mastered the art of making the flute sing. Tune in now and let the melody of Gareth's story inspire your own musical adventures.
