Avsnitt

  • Paris-Based traverso superstar, conservatoire professor and flute mastermind Sebastijan Bereta joined me on the podcast this week, live from The City of Lights herself, to chat all things flute. 


    Sebastijan gives us his tips to embrace the true French Flute School as well an insight into the (cooler?) world of period instruments, before the pair of us wax lyrical about Sir James Galway for 7 minutes.

  • t’s the end of the NFA Bootleg Series 2024, and what an ending it is, dearest listeners. In what you might say saving the best for last (I couldn’t possibly comment), my guest this week is Flute Center CEO Julian Rose.


    I was like a child in a sweetshop in this one, as I got to pick the brains of a business and flute encyclopaedia in Julian. We chat about his own journey and new part ownership in Flute Center, before letting me ask the questions burning inside me. Has Chris Martin ever bought a flute? What’s the most expensive flute in the shop? Has Emmanuel Pahud ever tested flutes with an NBA star?


    You’ll find it all out in here, you lucky wee ducks.

    A man that needs no further introduction; just let me add that having watched Greg’s videos and listened to PROJECT Trio’s albums on loop throughout my teen years, this was a special one for me personally.

    This week’s guest is soloist, University of Iowa professor, recording artist and all-round flute superstar; Nicole Esposito.


    I’ve been a fan of Nicole’s for 13 (!) years and I finally got to meet her and record a wee episode together.

    I haven’t seen Stephen in near 10 years, so this was just a lovely wee catch up that happened to be filmed where we chatted about cultural differences between the US and UK flute worlds, daily challenges for gigging musicians, keeping your trousers on whilst bowing and the musical stylings of Cyndi Lauper.

    I haven’t got the answer yet, but come join me as I trace the origins of American Flute Playing back to a Frenchman, which then passed through William Kincaid, Joseph Mariano and Julius Baker, to a potential tradition of American Flute Playing.

  • The Punk Ethos is defined by anti-authoritarian and anti-establishment views, carried out in a DIY fashion. Is there anyone in Classical Music truly doing this, or is elitism too deeply ingrained in the culture?
