Steven Isserlis "Music is an International Language" | Classic FM Meets

The great cellist was joined by a host of international soloists for his 60th birthday concert, at London s Wigmore Hall. Before this performance, Steven told us he believes Brexit will be a terrible thing for the classical music industry. "I don’t think I’ll be the one who really suffers. It’s more players in orchestras who have permanent jobs in other European countries – they’ll feel very insecure and that’s such a pity because like our football teams, these orchestras benefit so much from having people from other countries in them. The sound and the atmosphere of the orchestra changes. "Music is an international language – it’d be terrible if we shrink it so that only the people from here can play over here."
