The Inline G Flute Podcast

Certain classical musicians cosplay as liberal to benefit from queer spaces, and get found out by their inevitable support of Israel.

I look at how money and social class are still the greatest barriers in classical music, as well as chatting about the scam of “music studio coaches.”

A prevalent stereotype exists of classical musicians, particularly singers, that they’re all big fat lads with viking horns. However beauty standards have never been higher in the industry, and nor have eating disorders.

Looking at a study into disordered eating, as well as the commentary around Yuja Wang and Khatia Buniatishvili and the castrated singers of before, I try to quash these stereotypes.

After receiving some exciting news, I reflected on why I instantly felt a pang of anxiety and why classical musician’s systemically feel like this.

Using a concert from psychologist Carl Rogers, I look at how other musicians evaluate their success internally and how we can do the same.

Israel uses stolen classical music as a soft power to legitimise its existence as a state, and even the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra can’t hide that.

This episode compares it with Japan’s use of soft power post WW2, and calls for the industry to hold Israeli musicians to the same standards we held Russian ones too.

For a country of under 4 million people, Georgia is regularly producing some of the best musicians on earth. 

I look at how this is in fact in spite of its Soviet past, instead due primarily to its incredible folk music ecosystem.

When it comes to art from the 2 main political traditions in the North of Ireland, one is significantly more culturally confident. 

Ulster Unionism has created awful art, by right wingers with lower cognitive ability and emotional intelligence. Today I look at how and why this resonates artistically with very few people, whilst Irish art is admired worldwide.

Fresh off hosting our first Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, I look at Belfast’s status as a UNESCO City of Music (since 2021) and the reasons why we might be the best city on Earth right now for music.

I also drank 7 pints before recording, so I might be prone to exaggeration.

Germany is leading the world in classical music, with 129 state funded orchestras and recognised by UNESCO for its orchestral heritage. But, coming to study here and getting a slice of the piece can be daunting to non-Germans. 

Today I go through all you need to know, from visas and fees to schools and entrance exams, about the system to study and/or work as a musician in Deutschland.
