Customer Reviews
Honest discussion of classical music
Great to hear people talking about their passion and addressing some of the taboo topics in classical music
I used to play cello
Raw, honest and insightful. I never realised my own insecurities around performing were so normal until I listened to this podcast. Relatable, therefore healing.
