And now for something completely different! Casey came across the podcast Listening to Ladies in November 2016 and was curious to know more about it - and we're so glad its founder and host, Elisabeth Blair, could find the time to record an episode with us.
With Elisabeth we chat about her reasons and work for the Listening to Ladies podcast and how to balance its demands with the rest of life. Women-specific composition festivals and opportunities are mentioned, as well as the current diversity between the sexes in the world of percussion. Closing quotes from Robert Schumann on Clara's music, and Sofia Gubaidulina.
