  • Brilliant guests & discoveries

    What a brilliant Podcast series (6 seasons so far!) this has turned into. I tend to catch up once a month & whilst I haven’t heard many of the guests prior, there are brilliant stories, links & musical snippets entwined that make you look further for streams. Nicely presented by Saxophonist Hilary.

  • Short but informative

    Harmonious World gives short but concise insight into musicians lives and work. Although quite “bite size”, a lot of background and information gets packed in all told by the interviewees and expertly guided by Hilary. A lovely springboard into the subjects life which sets your appetite to find out more.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chatting with Kings Place jazz programmer Hannah Hutton
Q: How does education and youth engagement fit into the program?
The program centers on education through open rehearsals, a Young Artist Platform, and pre-concert performances in the Music Foyer, offering paid opportunities and mentorship to young musicians while also integrating with established professionals to build a sustainable pathway into the jazz industry.
Chatting with Kings Place jazz programmer Hannah Hutton
Q: What inspired the creation of the Kings Place Jazz Orchestra and the new season?
Hannah explains that there was a clear need for a home and platform for this kind of large ensemble, and that Kings Place could provide an umbrella for education work, open rehearsals, and cross-generation collaboration, leveraging Calum Au's network to bring together a wide range of musicians.
Palladino’s bringing top-notch jazz to Cardiff
Q: What on earth possessed you to open a jazz venue in Cardiff?
Marc explains that his history of bringing live music to restaurants in Cardiff, his goal to present top-tier jazz locally, and the desire to create a space where touring musicians feel valued and supported led to opening Palladino's. He emphasizes learning from established London venues and adapting that model to a smaller Welsh city.
Music, nature and inspiration with composer Jan Swafford
Q: How do you approach Beethoven's sketches in your own composing and teaching?
Beethoven's sketches show a mind at work, moving from initial conception to refinement; I admire the courage to be wrong early and to push toward a better version, which informs both my writing and music.
Music, nature and inspiration with composer Jan Swafford
Q: What inspired your latest pieces and how did nature influence their form?
I used nature as both image and metaphor to guide the emotional arc and structural decisions; the music builds from a purely musical idea and then is shaped by landscape and atmosphere, as seen in Late Autumn-First Snow and River.
