Nanette McGuinness - 'The Guernica Project'

Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, in which I chat with soprano Nanette McGuinness from Ensemble for These Times.

    I've been listening the E4TT album The Guernica Project and we discuss the individual movements of Guernica, as well as the other fascinating tracks.

    Thanks to Nanette and E4TT for allowing me to play extracts from The Guernica Project alongside our conversation.

Amanda Lee Falkenberg 'The Moons Symphony'

This is a bumper episode of Harmonious World featuring my conversation with the truly inspirational composer Amanda Lee Falkenberg.

    I make no apologies for the length of this episode - I just couldn't cut it short.

Acantha Lang interview on Harmonious World

Welcome to another fascinating conversation with an artists who knows exactly what she's doing and who produces music of which she is justifiably proud. Acantha Lang is fairly new to the London music scene, but she's already making her presence felt.

    In February, Acantha is supporting Roachford on a UK tour and you really don't want to miss a show near you.
