Life in a Day: Gareth Davies

We follow the LSO's Principal Flute and Vice Chairman Gareth Davies for a day to see what LSO musicians get up to during the course of a typical day.
Gareth performs the Nielsen Flute Concerto with the LSO on 9 November 2011. Find out more in our Digital Season Guide at lso.co.uk/seaso....

Been spending some time tidying up our UA-cam channel during the "quiet" summer break. Enjoying coming across videos we made a couple of years back that haven't seen the light of day in a while. This was one of three mini-documentaries we made in 2011, following conductors and musicians to capture what a working musician's day is like. Our Principal Flute Gareth Davies even let us film him scooting from one session to another on his Brompton! Fun times...

London Symphony Orchestra although Gareth's life looks fun, he also seems very busy. But apart from that, he seems by to be a bit of 2 in 1. Principal Flutist and Chairman, but fair a play for him being able to do both. Past! I also want to be a conductor aswell Gareth.

When does he practise? THAT"S what I wanted to see, how he manages that into his schedule. Gareth, if you read this, do give a little pointer as to how you manage to practise.
