Just in time for International Women’s Day, UK based flute player Meera Maharaj joins me for a gorgeous wee chat on all things diversity, representation and programming.

Meera often plays with the celebrated Chineke! Orchestra, and is also a member of the Meraki Duo, Meliora Collective, the Hathor Duo and the Maharaj/Degavino. So when it comes to experienced diverse programming, Meera is the person you should be listening to.

If you’re looking to fall in love with the flute all over again, this is the ep for you.

In Germany, just under 29% of orchestral leadership roles are held by women; a trend seen worldwide.

As I celebrate some former Inline G guests achievements from the last week, I take a look at the gender disparity in the classical music industry, the arguments we commonly see online for it, and why they’re a load of bollocks.

Having joined the Junge Sinfonie Köln orchestra myself almost a year ago, I’m thrilled to finally get Alexander and Sebastian Hässy on the podcast.

Alex is the principal oboe, Sebastian is the principal bassoon/conductor and they’re both the sons of the orchestra’s founder, composer and local legend Gunter Hässy.

They talk to me all about the orchestra, professionalism vs hobby playing, legacy and if Kölsch is better than Guinness.
