Episode 5. Uchenna Ngwe "C is the key"
Having no work sometimes can be therapeutic! Enjoy it while you can!
My guest this episode is Uchenna Ngwe: oboist, cor anglais player and PhD candidate at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. She's the founder of PlainSightSound and the Decus Ensemble which aims to uncover music by black British, African and Caribbean composers throughout history. She shares her wisdom about applying for Arts Council Funding, which many people know is not a straight-forward affair. We also chat about cello and oboe idiosyncrasies, clef dyslexia, Beethoven symphonies, and the best concerts we've ever been to.
TRIGGER WARNING: there is a short discussion regarding the word MOIST *shudders*
As always, don't miss the "music college didn't prepare me" segment. Got an anecdote to share with me? Tell me in preferably more than one word at [email protected]
