As usual, we chat about what we’ve seen and been up to in the last fortnight, as well as classical music news, including the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra’s response to hate-mail, GDPR, the new RPS instrumentalist prize, and how the volume of classical music may affect your eating choices. Our guest this episode is baritone Roderick Williams, and we wrap things up with another weird gig submission.
