My interview with Matthew Detrick, Founder of the Apollo Chamber Players, didn’t go off live, and I hope those who were in queue will accept our sincere apologies. The recorded interview is above.

We talked about the great city of Houston, the development of contemporary classical music, and the Houston Astros signal stealing controversy of ten years ago about which — if I’m being honest — it seems I still have some unresolved feelings.

Their new album We The People (above) will be released July 3, 2026. Click here for more information.

Media Room Live! With Emilie-Claire Barlow

Join me next week, July 2, 2026, for my interview with Canadian jazz singer Emilie-Claire Barlow. She released La Plus Belle Saisonin February, but only in Canada because it’s all in French.

She will be appearing at Birdland in New York, July 9-11.

She and Damien Robitaille play us out with “Quelles sont les chances?”

Quelles sont les chances, qu’on se croise dans la rue?

(What are the chances of us crossing paths in the street? )
