A live chat with pianist and composer Jamie Poulsen
Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, in which I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.In preparation for this episode, I sat in on a recording session at the famous Abbey Road studios. Composer Jamie Poulsen and I then met for coffee and a chat a few days later.The recording session was principally for Jamie's Piano Concerto (a few clips of which you can hear alongside our conversation), performed by members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and pianist Robert Thies. On hand for Production was my past guest Danae Xanthe Vlasse and it was a delight to experience the magic of recording once more.Jamie and I also discussed his wide-ranging piano and composing credits, as well as his work (that sounds like a lot of fun) with the NOLA Jazz Band.I hope you enjoy listening in on my chat with Jamie and I'm grateful to him for sending me a sneak preview of his Piano Concerto to feature alongside our conversation.Get in touch to let me know what you think!Thank you for listening to Harmonious World.

Exploring 'Ban: Stories of Censorship' with Matthew Detrick from Apollo Chamber Players
Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, in which I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.This is my third episode chatting with Matthew Detrick, one of the founding musicians of Apollo Chamber Players. You can listen to our earlier episodes from November 2021 and January 2023 to find out more about the work the ensemble is doing, especially in commissioning new work.For this episode, we're discussing Ban: Stories of Censorship, which includes The Book of Names by Marty Regan, which includes narration by George Takei, who is so much more than the actor who portrayed Mr Sulu in Star Trek. You will find out why during our conversation.The discussions around censorship and this fascinating music were particularly interesting as I have just finished reading James, by Percival Everett, which is a brilliant version of Huckleberry Finn. I can heartily recommend the book as well as this album. Thanks to Matthew and the other members of Apollo Chamber Players for allowing me to use tracks from Ban: Stories of Censorship alongside our conversation.Get in touch to let me know what you think!Thank you for listening to Harmonious World.
