The Inline G Flute Podcast Gareth Houston

On the 12th April of this year, Vulture magazine published an article entitled “A Hidden Sexual Assault Scandal at the New York Philharmonic.”
It details an alleged sexual misconduct case from 2010, and the various related ongoings since then.
I am delighted to welcome the author of this landmark piece, Sammy Sussman, on to Inline G to talk about it, the various reactions and the potential implications for the classical music world.
Please also be aware that this episode contains descriptions of abuse, which some may find triggering.
This was a landmark episode, and I am thrilled that guests of this calibre feel comfortable to tell their story on Inline G.

Coming to you fresh from the Emerald Isle herself, this week’s episode features the the Principal Flute of The National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland (and proud fellow owner of an Irish accent); Catriona Ryan.
After a few Instagram DMs, Catriona managed to squeeze me into her exceptionally busy schedule after a rehearsal to sit down together in the National Concerto Hall in Dublin and chat all things flute.
From platinum Brannens and the importance of Orchestral Blending to a shared admiration of irish trad players and String, this episode has a wee something for everyone.

It’s the piece every flutist dreads; and I’m here to change the narrative. So grab your copy of Ibert’s Flute Concerto, pour yourself something tropical and join me as we analyse everything that makes this concerto a damn good time. 
From Ibert’s potential links to Elvis and 101 Dalmatians, to n analysis of the structure and practice tips; this episode will cover everything you might need to know about the flute repertoire’s crown jewel (certainly enough to impress your teacher or any juries you come up against.)

We also chatted a bit about his experiences studying with Jacques Zoon, Emmanuel Pahud, Andrea Oliva etc and his surprising love for System of a Down.
