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.
