This week Andrew and Grace talk for 30 minutes as they try and figure out what this episode is going to be about. Will it be about the struggles of touring while trying to keep to a vegan diet, or will it be about Grace's latest forays into producing video content? Maybe it will be about both!

Today Andrew speaks with French singer, composer, and harpist Laura Perrudin about the pressure mounting towards the French government and the national train service, the SNCF, to change the ban against musical instruments on Intercity and TGV services in the country which has been strictly enforced since January 1st 2021 and what you can do to help her collective make it easier for musicians travelling by rail in the country.

------

In this Episode, Prof. Kelly Landerkin, Head of Studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, joins Grace and Andrew to discuss how we often assume anonymous compositions of the past to be the work of male composers; how the standard Early Music curriculum does not recognize the contribution of women composers or performers; and how the pandemic has exacerbated the need for digital and media skills to be intergrated into a conservatory education.

In this episode Andrew and special guest Johanna Bartz go through the events of 14 August 2021 at the 100 Jahre Burgenland festival in Austria where the singer Alexander Köck spoke out on behalf of members of the orchestra playing that night over their meager fee of 30 EUR per night (plus travel and catering ;). Köck was confronted in public by the artistic director and M.C. of the evening Alfons Haider, which is when sh*t really hits the fan. Let's get into it.

In this episode, mezzo, early music specialist, and co-founder of Invocare Ensemble, Tessa Roos returns to the podcast to speak about Invocare's most recent residency in Basel, the reason for it, and the trouble ahead facing an ensemble which has been separated over the course of the pandemic, changing travel regulations, and a number of serious international bookings with high expectations.

Surviving Classical Music is a podcast about the issues facing musicians today. We want to air out those open secrets.  You know, the stuff you talk about at the bar after the show.

In this episode, Andrew and Grace talk about how the recent 30 hot Canadian Classical musicians under 30 article by CBC Music is an artifact from a by-gone era, and how we should be the publishers of all our social media content - even the stuff we're asked to do for festivals & concert organisers. (Also mentioned is how crap so many organisations are at IG, but shhh! don't tell anyone!)

*as a correction from our discussion about the situation in Switzerland: 

from the Federal Office of Public Health's website, accessed 27.7.2021

"Events

Organisers of events with up to 1,000 participants can now basically decide whether access for people from age 16 will only be permitted for those with a valid COVID certificate. Large-scale events with more than 1,000 people may only be attended by people with a valid COVID certificate. In addition, the organisers of large-scale events must obtain authorisation from the canton. You will find more information on the COVID certificate on the COVID certificate page.

For all events where COVID certificates are not mandatory, special requirements apply to the layout of the premises and the way people are placed, the wearing of masks and the consumption of food and drinks. You’ll find more information on the Precautionary measures page. 

Masks

Masks must be worn in publicly accessible indoor spaces, for example in shops, in restaurants and in enclosed areas of public vehicles. Further details can be found on the Masks page. The general rule of thumb applies: Always wear a mask indoors when you are away from home and unable to maintain social distancing of 1.5 metres from other people at all times.  "
