Harmonious World Hilary Seabrook

The latest episode of Harmonious World takes me (virtually) to Croatia. Thanks to an introduction from previous guest William Susman, I chatted with Iva Ljubicic Lukic from the band Glazbene staze.

The band's new album is Pierrot Project Op 1 and brings a real introduction to the rare pierrot ensemble. Please take some time to listen to this music from Croatia that crosses all bounds of genre.

Thanks to Iva for sharing tracks from the album.

It's all about the jazz festivals at the moment - so much great live music around. This week, I chat with Tobie Medland, who has curated the Gypsy Jazz Festival of London. There are some great acts announced for 6-12 May 2024.

Thanks to Tobie for providing some excellent tracks to hear alongside our conversation, in case you're unsure what Gypsy jazz sounds like.

If you like jazz, you should get along to Watford Jazz Festival, 12-19 May 2024.

If you don't know much about jazz (yet), do the same.

I had a chat with founder and festival director Chris Newstead, who ran through all the delights on offer this year, so if you can, you should pop along to see some of the great acts appearing in Watford.

The Harmonious World theme tune you can hear at the start and end of our conversation was composed and performed by pianist Joe English.

We start season 16 of Harmonious World with another in-person conversation, This one was with bassist Mark Wade, who first appeared on the podcast in 2020, at the height of the pandemic.

It was great to chat with Mark in the wonderful setting of Benslow Music.

Thank you to Mark for chatting with me before he started tutoring and performing across Europe, and for allowing me to share tracks from True Stories alongside our conversation.

Welcome to season 16 of Harmonious World.
I hope that 2024 is a happy and healthy year for you all so far. Some of my guests and listeners are in parts of the world where that probably seems impossible, and I really hope that we see some progress in seeing a return to sanity and kindness everywhere.

For those of you who don’t know who I am, my name is Hilary Seabrook and I’m a writer, podcaster and musician (with a little teaching thrown in).

You can find out more about me on my blog - there’s also lots of album and gig reviews

Season 15 was a spectacular one and the statistics for listeners are quite extraordinary. I’ve had some amazing guests, including China Moses, Jeff Atmajian, Joey Alexander, Tim Boniface, Didier Recloux and Mark Lockheart.

I have also been using my theme tune, which you can hear now and was composed and performed by Joe English.

There are some amazing interviews already in the bag for April and more planned for the rest of Season 16 and I hope you enjoy listening to them every week . If you want to know in advance who I’m chatting with, you’ll need to subscribe! Another subscriber bonus is a cute key ring: there’s more merchandise on the way.

Welcome to a special Easter episode of Harmonious World with sax player and Chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge, Tim Boniface.

Although I set out to discuss Tim's latest composition - jazz suite Psalter: Themes for Peace - we also discussed his Christmas suite The Infant and The Eight Words, an Easter suite that you can hear extracts of alongside our conversation.

Thank you to Tim for chatting with me in his tranquil study at Girton, and for allowing me to share tracks from the album alongside our conversation.
