The G6 Podcast

Relaunch alert! Welcome to the new series, covering our news and updates after a year away from the podcasting airwaves. We delve into our Josquin’s Legacy project, shining the spotlight on some of our newfound favourite music. Plus, we catch up with friends in the US during our recent tour.

Join us for this special edition, recorded on our first tour of the USA in fall 2021. Hear stories from people we met along the way: audience members, presenters, community singers and choir directors. Plus local food highlights, clips from our concerts, and our favourite moments.

Owain chats to Roger Wright, Director of Britten Pears Arts about musical life on the Suffolk coast. Plus, we discuss our Summer Sessions series and what it's like to be back making music with live audiences.

Owain chats to Delma Tomlin, Director of the National Centre for Early Music in York about the musical life of the city. Plus, Mike and Andrew explore our Lent Sessions series and discuss our educational plans as we resurface from the pandemic.

Owain chats to broadcaster Eleanor Oldroyd about her passion for classical music, and we explore the choral scene in Bristol with conductor David Ogden. Plus, Andrew tells us all about his journey into the world of VR.

Join us for the final episode of 2020 where we delve into our exciting #12Days project: the gift of a Choral Christmas. Featuring guest contributions from Echo Vocal Ensemble and The Swan Consort.

We offer a window into the London Sound Gallery – our new concert series which debuts this Autumn. As well as concert previews, we hear from members of the cast and crew about a return to live music making and talk to one of the stars of the series, trumpeter Matilda Lloyd.

We’re back with The News and a focus on projects that we’ve been working on since lockdown eased: rehearsals, video concerts, recordings, DCMS trials, and collaborations for our online festival: London Sound Gallery. We also talk about the life and music of Carlo Gesualdo and Guy interviews Dr Paolo da Col, director of Italian ensemble, Odhecaton, in Milan! Finally, as we wave farewell to the English summer, Any Other Business has a familiarly sporting air…

The choral tradition in the UK is one of the world's musical jewels. Former choristers often attribute their successes in later life to years spent at cathedral music foundations, including our special guest Alexander Armstrong – the actor and presenter was a chorister in Edinburgh. Joseph chats to Christopher Gray, Director of Music at Truro Cathedral, about the challenges and rewards of running a provincial cathedral choir. We also explore our own backgrounds as choristers, including some clips from our treble days!

We share the best moments from our team catch-up interleaved with snapshots of life from our homes under lockdown conditions. Featuring clips of our home-brewed music-making, alongside news of our first commission from composer, Joanna Ward. Plus, in a series of twists, Owain reports from a building site, Sam removes some buns from the oven, and Josh spots a giraffe on a bike.
