Spotlight is the Music Network's regular podcast shining the spotlight on someone involved in music in their working life.
Amélie Addison is a baroque cellist and musicologist, based at the University of Leeds.
In this podcast recorded at Forum 2018, Music Network assistant Becky Chevis chats to Amélie about how she came to know Jesus whilst a music student in Glasgow, her ongoing experiences with Christian Unions full of musicians, and her baroque chamber group Dei Gratia which encourages performers and audiences to think again about the glorious inspiration of baroque masterpieces.
In the second half, Amélie shares her experiences and pearls of wisdom about coping with injury and chronic pain as a baroque cellist. With refreshing honesty she tackles issues of self-pity, the ‘shoddy little temptations that go along with daily suffering’, the new glorious body that Jesus has prepared, and how Jesus is with us during pain. Below is a transcript of the interview.
