The G6 Podcast

We offer a window into the London Sound Gallery – our new concert series which debuts this Autumn. As well as concert previews, we hear from members of the cast and crew about a return to live music making and talk to one of the stars of the series, trumpeter Matilda Lloyd.

We’re back with The News and a focus on projects that we’ve been working on since lockdown eased: rehearsals, video concerts, recordings, DCMS trials, and collaborations for our online festival: London Sound Gallery. We also talk about the life and music of Carlo Gesualdo and Guy interviews Dr Paolo da Col, director of Italian ensemble, Odhecaton, in Milan! Finally, as we wave farewell to the English summer, Any Other Business has a familiarly sporting air…

The choral tradition in the UK is one of the world's musical jewels. Former choristers often attribute their successes in later life to years spent at cathedral music foundations, including our special guest Alexander Armstrong – the actor and presenter was a chorister in Edinburgh. Joseph chats to Christopher Gray, Director of Music at Truro Cathedral, about the challenges and rewards of running a provincial cathedral choir. We also explore our own backgrounds as choristers, including some clips from our treble days!

We share the best moments from our team catch-up interleaved with snapshots of life from our homes under lockdown conditions. Featuring clips of our home-brewed music-making, alongside news of our first commission from composer, Joanna Ward. Plus, in a series of twists, Owain reports from a building site, Sam removes some buns from the oven, and Josh spots a giraffe on a bike.

We tackle the big issue at the moment: how to record a podcast while in isolation. Owain interviews composer, Joanna Marsh and we discuss the release of our new album, Fading. Plus, Guy chooses his Desert Island Discs, and we answer some of your burning questions.

Sam chairs a travel blog from Australia, Owain interviews special guest Héloïse Werner, and we share recordings from our recent concerts. Plus, Mike explains a bit about why we're recording this podcast, and introduces newest member of the team, Andrew.

Introducing all of us to all of you. Featuring a Canadian canoeing disaster, Sam's shaky start to Veganuary, and what makes us tick as a group.
