Mark joins the show to chat about his new album, Smiling. Joining the show is Olivia Cuttill as a guest host. Saxophonist and composer Mark Lockheart first came to prominence in the mid 1980s with the influential big band Loose Tubes. In 1992 Mark formed the eclectic co-led quartet Perfect Houseplants, a group that released six albums and collaborated with classical artists such as the Orlando Consort, Andrew Manze and Pamela Thorby. The mid-90s saw Mark recording and performing with many jazz, folk and pop artists, including Django Bates, Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone, June Tabor, Stereolab, Jah Wobble, Robert Wyatt, Prefab Sprout, Don Um Romao, Thomas Dolby and Radiohead.In 2003 Mark joined Seb Rochford's Polar Bear, which over a period of 12 years recorded six ground-breaking albums. The band's second album, Held On The Tips Of Fingers, was nominated for the 2005 Mercury Award and later appeared in Jazzwise's 100 Albums That Shook the World. The band's fifth album, In Each And Every Way, was also nominated for a Mercury Award in 2013. In 2007 Mark was a featured soloist (along with John Pattitucci and Gwilym Simcock) in Mark Anthony Turnage's About Water, which premiered on the Southbank in June 2007. Mark collaborated several times more with Turnage, performing his A Man Descending with the Southbank Sinfonia in 2008 and more recently as one of the featured musicians in Turnage's opera Anna Nicole, which premiered at the Royal Opera House in London in 2011. In 2009 Mark's quintet album In Deep was released to critical acclaim. The following year saw the release of Mark's first big band album Days Like These with the Hamburg-based NDR big band. That same year Mark was awarded APPJC Parliamentary Jazz Musician of the Year 2010. In 2013 Mark released Ellington In Anticipation, a radical reworking of Ellington melodies with an all-star line up including Seb Rochford and Liam Noble. The album received numerous four and five-star reviews and was MOJO magazine's Jazz Album of 2013 and nominated as Best Jazz CD of 2013 by the APPJC at the 2014 Parliamentary Awards.  An invitation to perform at the New York Rochester Jazz Festival in 2014 led to the formation of Mark's trio, Malija, with bassist Jasper Hoiby and pianist Liam Noble. Malija's debut album The Day I Had Everything was released in December 2015 to critical acclaim. The group's second album Instinct was released in 2017 followed by a 21-date tour.  In 2016 Mark was awarded Jazz FM Instrumentalist of the Year and also nominated for the British Composer Awards for his composition With One Voice. A few years later saw the birth of two very contrasting projects , the jazz/orchestral work titled Days On Earth for jazz sextet and 30-piece orchestra, released on Edition Records in January 2019 and a set of English Renaissance music ‘Salvator Mundi' recorded at Temple church in London with organist Roger Sayer.mosaic: Exploring Jewish Issuesmosaic is Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's news magazine show, exploring Jewish...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

For our 10th episode, we are celebrating the Royal Philharmonic Society, who have generously sponsored this podcast with their Enterprise Fund and Harriet's Trust! Our guest this week is James Murphy, CEO of the RPS, who previously worked at the Royal College of Music, National Youth Orchestra (with Matilda!) and Southbank Sinfonia. We chat about his work at all of these different organisations, particularly delving deep into the future of classical music and how important young musicians are, and discussing topics such as how to present yourself onstage and tips for a career in music management. Find out more about the RPS: https://royalphilharmonicsociety.org.uk/

Join CBeebies for an Ocean Adventure travelling the musical world in the Royal Albert Hall submarine, finding endangered creatures and tackling tricky environmental problems. Andy, Chantelle, Jen, Maddie, Nigel and Rory are on board RA Sub with a marvellous musical crew, the Southbank Sinfonia, led by captain, conductor Kwamé Ryan. JoJo helps with a Gran Gran plan to make a musical ocean scrapbook, the Go Jetters rescue a Hawksbill Turtle, and Andy jets off on an Aquatic Adventure to find humpback whales, while Chantelle and Rory take everyone on Teeny Tiny Creature trips underwater and to shore searching out seahorse and starfish habitats. There's also a special Hey Duggee surprise. Brand new musical commissions from Dominique Le Gendre and Mason Bates are performed alongside Telemann and Britten classics, as well as a new CBeebies Medley. There really is something for every CBeebies Prommer at the CBeebies Prom Ocean Adventure. The on-stage team are the ocean guides as the Prommers meet creatures, find out fascinating facts and work together to help species survive. Around the globe, ocean creatures are struggling with growing environmental problems affecting their survival – noise pollution, plastic, fishing nets, damage to their habitats and climate change. Collecting photos and sounds the Prommers create an ocean scrapbook. And each creature and environmental solution is a key part of the CBeebies Prom Ocean Adventure action song – an immersive earworm that resounds around the Albert Hall. The animation is embedded alongside live action films with live orchestral music played on stage by the Southbank Sinfonia as the concert brings the outdoors inside the Royal Albert Hall. JoJo is super excited about the CBeebies Prom mission and comes up with a Gran Gran plan – let's make a musical ocean scrapbook full of sounds and pictures. First stop a check in with their overseas dolphin detective - Great Gran Gran in St Lucia. There are lots of dolphins to be spotted – but we need to look after these special chatty creatures and make sure they aren't caught in fishing nets. Maddie wants to tell everyone about the Galapagos penguins. Do You Know they are so clever they are changing to make sure they can live with climate change? Nigel has the new penguin moves - leaning forward to shade their feet from the sun and stretching flippers to keep cool. Chantelle and Rory are worried about the damage to seahorse and starfish habitats. Chantelle has been scuba-diving to check on precious seahorses while Rory has been litter-picking to keep the beaches clean for the starfish. There are lots of special photos and sounds for JoJo's scrapbook. The Go Jetters with the CBeebies Prommers help with a tricky Hawksbill Turtle rescue when there's just too much plastic in the Pacific. Andy and his trusty assistant Jen are helping with the sounds for a very special piece of music “Whalesong” – Andy jets off in his submarine pod to find a singing whale with helpful pointers from Jen. But there's so much noise in the sea will Andy be able to record the song in time? Finally the team reveal there's someone else who loves the Ocean. Duggee has an Ocean Badge for everyone and a very important Duggee Hug! And the Royal Albert Hall has its special role to play becoming a submarine to take everyone underwater for a unique view of the ocean and creatures that live there. Was that really a whale swimming in the Royal Albert Hall? The musical repertoire played by the Southbank Sinfonia is: Argentum (excerpt) by Dani Howard Dolphin Dance ( BBC Commission) by Dominque le Gendre Overture from ‘Wassermusik' by Georg Philipp Telemann The Fairy Garden from ‘Mother Goose' by Maurice Ravel G.R.S. from “Enigma Variations' by Edward Elgar Storm from ‘Peter Grimes' by Benjamin Britten Whalesong (BBC Commission) by Mason Bates CBeebies Medley arranged by Daniel Whibley Celebration Dance by Eleanor Alberga This is a truly immersive high gloss experience for audiences across the UK, encouraging the youngest audiences to look out and listen for those sounds and photos they can include in their scrapbooks, just like JoJo, while discovering the world and environmental challenges around them.

For the final episode in Series 2 (can you believe it?!) Alex and Helen are honoured to be joined by good friend and esteemed colleague, Richard Robbins. Richard is an in-demand tenor who has soloed with ensembles such as The Southbank Sinfonia and the Academy of Ancient Music; he is a City Music Foundation Young Artist for their 2020-2022 season and he has also been a young artist for Handel House, Leeds Lieder, Oxford Lieder, and Brighton Early Music Festival.Most importantly, Richard studied at the Royal Academy of Music for his master's degree in 2015-2017 which was where he met Alex (and through Alex, Helen) and their friendship was born.Alex and Helen invite Richard onto the Dressing Room Pod to discuss how, following his studies at conservatoire, he has built his career in classical music . The chat covers all kinds of topics, not least:Music CollegeHow it is the people, not the institution that will define your music college experience.How conservatoire can help you understand the next steps you need to take to build your career, although it may not directly lead you there.How the music college experience is not egalitarian, which seems unfair. As a place of education should conservatoires not be able to offer all students equal opportunities? Of course, equality of opportunity can never mean equality of outcome, but each student deserves to feel that their institution believes in them and is working to channel their energy into a successful future career.Our tips for those at music college: be brave, ask for what you want, and develop the self-knowledge to take from the experience what you need and leave what you don't.Career pathHow in 2022 we are not able to identify solely as singers. We must build a patchwork quilt career, a smorgasbord of work opportunities. Now having many strings to your bow can be perceived as a strength.To what extent can we manifest our next steps? Richard feels his career happens somewhat in retrospect, whereas Alex and Helen are more inclined to feel that they set goals and work towards them.'The industry wants you but doesn't need you, and you've got to want it but not need it.'Episode edited and produced by Daisy Grant Productions.

This week's episode features Violinist, journalist, founder of the Estilo String Quartet, former Über delivery driver......and Verity's husband, Robert Simmons.Against all the odds this episode doesn't descend into chaos or indeed a domestic, however the subjects covered don't necessarily match what Rob had in mind.They chat about his stint as an Über delivery cyclist and the chain of events that led to making a potential loss. Rob also talks about the new branch of his career working as sub editor for ESTA (European String Teachers Association) and the fascinating and challenging new skills he has developed by diversifying in this way.Rob discusses going back to Royal Ballet Sinfonia post pandemic and the company's impressive online presence over the last eighteenths months. Verity questions (interrogates) him about what he does in his free time on tour.They delve into Rob's musical background - Verity revels in the cringeworthy tales of his Barbershop quartet performances.

In this special podcast episode, we celebrate International Women's Day (8 March 2021).  An episode not only celebrating the achievements of women in music, but also music itself, and all of those who are engaged with it and making the effort to take it out of any one particular box. In this lively conversation, we are excited to be joined by three knowledgeable and passionate panellists: Dobrinka Tabakova – a multi-award-winning composer born in Bulgaria who has lived in the UK for over 25 years.  As well as writing extensively for the concert hall she has also composed for film and dance projects – and amongst her commissioners are the Royal Philharmonic Society, BBC Radio 3 and the European Broadcasting Union. Her music is performed worldwide – and her debut profile album String Paths, on ECM Records, was nominated for a Grammy in 2014. In 2017 she was appointed composer-in-residence with the BBC Concert Orchestra. Sarah Alexander – Chief Executive and Artistic Director, National Youth Orchestra of Great  Britain, named Orchestra Manager of the Year in the 2015 Association of British Orchestras/Rhinegold Awards and awarded an OBE in the 2018 New Year's Honours list. When accepting that award Sarah spoke of the NYO being unique.  Through the groundbreaking initiatives brought in under Sarah's stewardship, its teenage musicians have continued to share their knowledge and love of orchestral music with thousands of other teenagers, both encouraging others musically and bringing musical inspiration directly into the lives of many who may never have heard a live orchestra before. James Murphy – Chief Executive, Royal Philharmonic Society – before that he was Managing Director of Southbank Sinfonia, and previously Communications Director at NYO.  He made Southbank Sinfonia the first UK orchestra to hire an equal number of male and female guest conductors and substantially raised the proportion of music is performed by women. His advocacy for gender equality continues at the RPS whose Women Conductors programme has given over 500 women the chance to try their hand and further their skills at conducting.  This episode is hosted by HP's Lydia Connolly, Director and Head of Artist Management at HarrisonParrott.

The contemporary classical composer Gavin Bryars talks about the latest incarnation of his acclaimed 1971 work, Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet – a 12-hour overnight rendition at Tate Modern in London. The piece is based on a fragment of tape of a homeless man singing, and this performance combines the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Bryars’s own ensemble, the Southbank Sinfonia, and the participation of several homeless people. Gavin Bryars also contributes his thoughts to the question: can opera singers sing pop and vice versa? What are the main differences between a trained bel canto voice and what some would call the more natural approach taken by folk, jazz or rock singers? Music critic Anna Picard and Christopher Purves, opera singer and former member of jazz vocal group Harvey and the Wallbangers, discuss. Hailed by Zadie Smith as 'uncommonly poised and truly beautiful', the debut novelist Isabella Hammad discusses her 500-page epic The Parisian, set around the Palestinian struggle for independence in the early twentieth century.
