Pianist Sarah Watkins is my guest for this episode. She spoke to me from post-Covid New Zealand, where she's been busy working and performing (remember that foreign concept?) Along with violinist Andrew Beer, she's the winner of the Aotearoa Music Award for her album "11 Frames". We chatted about the state of composition in New Zealand and how multi-culturalism continues to influence New Zealand's musical voices.

I've been watching lots of sports matches broadcast with artificially generated crowd noises. What if classical concerts did the same thing? This episode also features a wintery vehicle-pushing Music College Didn't Prepare Me segment. Got a weird gig you'd like featured? Email me at [email protected]
