Hear Jackie Wilkinson in conversation with the Auckland Philharmonia's Piano Technician, Glenn Easley. Glenn has brought his expertise to New Zealand after moving here from the UK in 2003, working with all of the country's leading pianists.

During his 40 years as a concert technician, Glenn has prepared pianos for well over 25,000 concerts and recordings. He has worked with the vast majority of the pianists and orchestras on the international circuit, and has acquired a wealth of knowledge in selecting concert instruments for orchestras, concert halls and conservatoires.
