In Episode 13 of Sense in the City Sydney, Ruby meets up with ‘flute superstar’ Jane Rutter. Jane is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Music and an expert in the French Flute School. She’s recently been knighted by France for her contribution to the arts. Jane has appeared on the same bill as Pavarotti, Peter Cousens, Tina Arena and The Manhattan Transfer, to name a few.
Today she’s at the Concourse concert hall in Chatswood where her Live at Lunch concert series takes place. She tells Ruby about it and talks about the transcendent power of music and her love of Sydney – by day and by night.
