We welcome to the show this month the amazing OperaQ from Toronto. They are in the process of making a queer-led Indie Operatic film about the life of Julie d’Aubigny or Mademoiselle de Maupin.

We talked to the company about the film and what it means to them to produce an Opera about such a larger-tha-life character. So come take a listen, find out about Julie and her life as well as French Baroque Opera. I learnt so much!…

It was a great pleasure to welcome back Eveshka Ghost to the podcast. She recently released her new film "Broken Eyes" - for which she not only wrote the music but also wrote and directed the film. We not only discuss the film but delve into Eveshka's quite unique way of writing and playing music. To be honest, I am in awe of her abilities as a composer and musician and I really have no idea how she does it in the way she does. Take a listen to find out more.…

Jacob and I had a great time interviewing Opera singer and theatre creator Teiya Kasahara. Teiya not only has the most fantastic voice but uses it so creatively to explore the various aspects of gender, sexuality and race all within an often amusing operatic artform. There is little doubt that they are a rising star in the operatic world. I know you will enjoy listening to this podcast!…

On this month's Classical Queer Podcast we welcome composer and performer Zachery Meier. We talked to him about his life as a flutist (or flautist and definitely not flootist) and his wonderful compositions. Jacob and I had a great time talking with Zachery and I learnt a lot about the combination of flute and tuba - it works! Come and take a listen to some fantastic music that for me pushed the boundaries of what a flute can do.…

In 2022 we interviewed Australian composer Matt Webster about his upcoming work "This too shall pass" about his life and struggle with Bipolar disorder. Since then Matt has been orchestrating and recording the work and it was released a few days ago. The work is a labour of love and deals with such important issues that affect so many people. We therefore thought it a good time to talk to Matt again about how the work developed and how it's been received. The outcome you will see is an amazing musical experience. Please note the podcast contains references to menatl health issues and suicide.…

When thinking of the world of classical music one does not normally think of the Saxophone. Well, Nick May is here to change your mind. Jacob and I had the great pleasure of interviewing Nick who's amazing virtuosity is displayed in the 3 pieces we listened to. It really opened my eyes to the world of classical sax. As usual we discussed a wide range of subjects including Nick's project to promote innovative queer music called "I Exist". Do take a listen, you won't be disappointed.…

I have had the pleasure of interviewing many great musicians and composers over the past two years but I came to realise that I had never talked music with my co-host Jacob Caines.

As usual we had lots of laughs and talked about a wide range of subjects. ... and no, don't worry I won't be interviewed next! Sammi…
