A nosy trombonist (Melissa Brown) chats to fellow brass professionals about their careers, how they got there, and what music they'd happily put in the bin. In this episode trumpet player and musicologist Simon Desbrulais tells us about almost pursuing a route into science, about his passion for (and the importance of) commissioning new music for trumpet, and how his trumpet interests from baroque to contemporary music combine in his career.

All episodes recorded during COVID-19 lockdown via video call programmes. There are occasional technical glitches - please bear with us!
