It's launch day! A new 6-part podcast series in which I interview inspiring and creative musicians about their thoughts, feelings and experiences of the classical music world. Putting the classical music world to rights!
Using Music Mavericks as a stimulus, I have had an article published in the @BPSOfficial publication, The Psychologist, discussing why embracing mavericks might help classical music.

Lovely to chat with @VocalMiche about my journey from @SidneySussex@Cambridge_Uni muso (and choral scholar at @Selwyn1882) to pianist and Music Ed researcher at @rncmlive, and the last 8 glorious years at @OlympiasMusic - with all of its challenges and triumphs.

An absolute joy to chat with the gorgeous Miche. It's not very often you get the opportunity to voice your honest experiences as a musician and I really appreciate the opportunity to do so! Do listen to all the wonderful contributors in this very honest podcast on our sector.
This week, composer, musical director and creator, Michael Betteridge chats to Music Mavericks. Michael enables high-quality music-making in the community, through collaborative projects. He is also music director of ground-breaking, low-voiced choir, The Sunday Boys.
Miche chats with Nadia Eskandari, a viola player and co-creator of string quartet, @VulvaVoce. Nadia believes that the classical music industry needs to adapt to keep audiences engaged, she and Vulva Voce are definitely part of a movement to ensure this is happening.
This is utterly fascinating and beautiful, thank you @LintonStephens and @VocalMiche. You are an exquisite, eloquent, & endlessly wise human, Linton, and your thinking in here makes me want to be a better person (“we are humans before we are people that do jobs” - yes!! 💪 💕)
