    Hannah Seymour and Sinéad Walsh from EMPOWER on building ecosystems to promote gender equity

    In this episode, David speaks with Hannah Seymour and Sinéad Walsh from EMPOWER. An oboist and a flautist, Hannah and Sinéad founded EMPOWER: Women Changing Music while studying at music colleges. EMPOWER: Women Changing Music is a platform championing women’s voices in music, both historically and today, through performance, commissioning, advocacy and community. Since its launch, they have worked with hundreds of performers and composers through concerts, commissions, panel discussions and collaborative projects across the UK and Ireland. In this conversation, we dive into why creating an ecosystem has benefits over just tackling one area when it comes to promoting fairness and gender equity in the music industry. We look at how EMPOWER: Women Changing Music was born out of Hannah and Sinéad’s experiences of studying at music college, the challenges of creating an arts organisation and how to work with your friends, and why we still need to have more organisations tackling the issues facing society.

    Simon Woods on empowering the next generation of audiences and leaders

    In this episode, David speaks with Simon Woods, President and CEO of the League of American Orchestras. As well as having a unique insight into the orchestral world from championing the League’s members, which range from internationally famous orchestras to smaller community organisations, Simon has an extensive knowledge of the classical music sector after working in the industry for 4 decades. He previously led the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Seattle Symphony, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, as well as being a record producer with EMI Classics. All this makes Simon the perfect person to dive into the issues facing orchestras, both in North America, and the rest of the world. In this conversation, we look ahead to the League of American Orchestras Conference in Baltimore next week, and the discussions they will be having about how the funding and philanthropy landscape is changing in the face of the biggest transfer of generational wealth. We look at how orchestras can embrace uncertainty in an ever-changing world, how to address systemic resistance to change, and what inspiration international orchestras can take from American orchestras. Ultimately, Simon shares why the key to navigating these financial and cultural headwinds lies in empowering the next generation of audiences and leaders to help ideate the future of the art form.

    Iván Fischer on the future of classical music

    In this episode, David introduces Iván Fischer’s Opening Keynote from Classical:NEXT 2026, a standout moment of the event that left delegates in deep discussion for days after. A Budapest native and musical polymath, Maestro Fischer shares an honest reflection on the future of classical music, drawing on his unique perspective as one of the most innovative musical minds of our time. He believes we are the "dinosaurs" of this art form, fighting to keep it alive in a world that’s losing interest. The traditional concert experience is at risk, with audiences struggling to focus and a shrinking repertoire that doesn't resonate with new generations. Fischer highlights the need for innovation in how we present and engage with classical music. It's not just about the performance, but understanding what today’s audiences truly need – an ideal conversation starter for the return of The Classical:NEXT Podcast.
