The Musician Centric Podcast
Two professional violists, Liz O'Hara and Stephanie Knutsen, explore diverse perspectives in the music field through conversations together and with friends. Whether gaining fresh insights from industry innovators or laughing their way through a show like Mozart in the Jungle, Liz and Steph hope to inspire musicians, particularly freelancers, to feel a sense of agency in their lives.

Violist Matthew Lipman on Identity, Success and Mind-Body Connection
Stories? Questions? Thoughts? TEXT us here!
Our guest in this episode is violist Matthew Lipman, one of his generation’s great talents! After sufficient fan-girling, we got to ask Matt all of our burning questions about life in the most high-profile of freelancing careers: as a soloist and professional chamber musician. If there’s anything universal about a career in music, it’s how we stitch our identities into how we perceive success. We talk with Matt about what success means to him, as well as the important yet restrictive practices that are preventing us from exposing our art to a broader audience, and maybe even a little astrology - yes, we may be getting a little ‘woo-woo’ today…Enjoy getting to know Matt, a beautiful musician with an important voice in the future of ‘classical’ music!
