YolanDa Brown sits down with three former LPO members - violinist Geoff Lynn, bassoonist Gareth Newman, and oboist Joan Graham - to explore retirement.  When they retire, some musicians sell their instruments and never play a note again. Others reduce the amount of performing they’re doing to make more time for teaching. The former LPO members chatting to YolanDa today all approached retirement in very different ways. Geoff, Gareth and Joan tell YolanDa what they miss about their orchestral years, share the pits and troughs of their careers, and share hints and tips for anyone who might be thinking about their retirement whether it’s decades away or fast approaching.
