Here is a link to a conversation I had with ⁠Andrew Burke⁠, Chief Executive and Artistic Director of ⁠London Sinfonietta⁠. Andrew tells me about the Sinfonietta’s history of taking artistic risks and engaging audiences with new music and unconventional approaches to performing music, and how that fits into the current cultural landscape and funding models.

This conversation was recorded on October 25, 2022.

The sound design for this podcast includes music recorded by ⁠The Exeter Community Family Orchestra⁠, which is associated with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and the University of Exeter, and is led by Hugh Nankivell and Emma Welton.
