Creative Types with Virginia Trioli on ABC and ABC iview S2E6 – Virginia Trioli is back in 2025 with a new season of CREATIVE TYPES WITH VIRGINIA TRIOLI, travelling the country and being invited into the very heart of the creative process of some of our most distinctive and prolific artists and performers.
Over six half hour episodes, Virginia meets the true visionary, director George Miller, and learns how his creative process has established him as the most revered action movie director of modern times; singer Kate Ceberano reveals the many forms that her artistry now takes; musician Richard Tognetti takes Virginia behind the scenes to reveal his restless spirit of collaboration; performer Tim Minchin tells Virginia that his life of being just the funny guy is over – he’s looking for something deeper.
Visual artist Tony Albert reveals the pain behind his brilliant and provocative works that connect all of us to a troubled time in Australia’s history; and in what she says will be her last interview, Jenny Kee, takes Virginia deep into her important archive and reveals why she is divesting and preparing for the end of her life.
The unique visions and intentions of these quintessentially Australian artists define our rich and lively culture, as they reveal to Virginia their vulnerabilities, their triumphs and what continues to drive them on.
Episode Six: Richard Tognetti
Richard Tognetti is the Artistic Director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra and one of the country’s finest musicians.
Richard has been leading the ACO since he was 24, and he has turned it into one of the most critically acclaimed ensembles in the world – some say the greatest. He has had a violin in his hands since he was five: here members coming home from his very first less on knowing this is what he wanted to do.
Richard’s artistic curiosity drives him to newer collaborations with many different artists, including Jimmy Barnes, and to homemade broadcasts during the lockdowns.
