The Inline G Flute Podcast Gareth Houston

Two weeks in a row, Inline G is bringing you former winners of the Kobe International Flute Competition; with this week welcoming Spanish-Filipino flutist Rafael Adobas Bayog.
Rafael and I chatted about the unique musical education he got in Ibiza, his compositional style, the Nielsen and Kobe competitions and how channelling your inner lion may be the key to success.
We also chat about our shared love of Steve Aoki and try to name as many Taylor Swift hits as we can.

This week’s episode comes fresh off the press from the Luxembourg Philharomie with orchestral flute superstar, former Kobe Flute Competition Winner, Jolivet aficionado and super-mom; Hélène Boulègue.
I’ve been a fan of Hélène for years now, so getting to sit down with her to chat about her career, social media and most strikingly, motherhood was a legit privilege.
If you only watch one part of this episode, skip ahead to the chapter on motherhood; especially if you’re a fella.

All music is political; the fact it even exists is a political debate. So on the most political day of the year for the flute, join me as I discuss the role it plays as a symbol for both the Ulster Unionist and Catholic Nationalist communities across Ireland. 
I also chat about why music is inherently left-wing, and why classical music insists of being apolitical in an ever changing world.

The Punk Ethos is defined by anti-authoritarian and anti-establishment views, carried out in a DIY fashion. Is there anyone in Classical Music truly doing this, or is elitism too deeply ingrained in the culture?
I explore the roots of punk, the differences between punk as a genre and as an ethos, and finally I give my 3 favourite classical music “punks.”
