Wimbledon, musicians’ weddings, and the word “klang” make for some worthy discussion in this episode. We also touch on the recent passing of the great British composer Oliver Knussen, and the start of this year’s BBC Proms. Our special guest is the Director of Wigmore Hall and Chairman of the Royal Philharmonic Society, John Gilhooly. John became the youngest director of any of the world’s concert halls at the age of 32. We pick his brains on what it takes to be successful in arts administration and performance. And of course, we conclude with a weird gig of mistaken identity...how intriguing!
