In this episode we discuss the hectic life of a freelancer with its highs and lows, as well as the latest classical music accolades, concert etiquette, and playing classical music to babies in utero. Our special guest is Aaron Holloway-Nahum, a champion of new music and one of the founding members of the Riot Ensemble. As usual, we dip into another weird gig of the week, followed by some upcoming concerts to check out.
