Blind Notes with Anne Wilkins

Season 1, Episode 910,   Aug 13, 2021, 09:00 AM

Blind Notes a seven-part conversation series of radio programmes featuring one-to-one interviews with musicians from around the world, all of whom are completely blind.

Presented by Ravi Sagoo, who himself has the sight condition keratoconus, the interviews are mixed with examples of the musicians' own music and those that have influenced or been important to them.

This episode Ravi talks with Welsh opera singer and Lockdown internet sensation Anne Wilkins. Anne is a classical music scholar and great advocator of Braillie Music. She describes being disillusioned with music but being drawn back through teaching it. Lockdown has made her an unlikely internet sensation singing on her doorstep with her furloughed West End musical actor neighbour Alyn Hawke.

Blind Notes is a 7 part series created for RNIB Connect Radio by Demus Productions Ltd and supported by the Audio Content Fund.
