Ep. 81: Camilla Kerslake

Camilla is a BRIT nominated English opera singer, who was the first signing to Gary Barlow’s Universal label, Future Records. She’s performed in arenas and stadiums all over the world, and recently made the transition from having a hugely successful career as a classical crossover artist to opera singer, recently performing for the Royal Opera House and English National Opera as their first Associate Artist. We met at the Royal Opera House over the October half term where we discussed everything from what it was like to have a high profile career as a classical crossover artist, making the transition to opera singer, training and preparation, and juggling motherhood with performing and auditioning. And you may have seen Camilla’s husband Chris Robshaw, former captain of the England rugby team, on your TV recently as he was a contestant on the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing (the British version of Dancing With The Stars). Of course, we had to talk about what that whole process was like particularly with having young children and an elderly dog! Thank you to Romany Anderson and Amelia Elgey at the Royal Opera House for setting us up with a room and allowing us to come there for the recording; Emily Ball for helping to organise the interview; Camilla for your patience and giving up your time so generously, coming in especially to do this despite having very little sleep the night before looking after a baby, the rain, and a half-hour delay starting the interview. -<a href="https://musicpartnership.co.uk/camilla-kerslake/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://musicpartnership.co.uk/camilla-kerslake</a><a href="https://kerslakerobshawfoundation.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://kerslakerobshawfoundation.com</a>-Janáček's <a href="https://www.rbo.org.uk/tickets-and-events/the-makropulos-case-katie-mitchell-dates?page=1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Makropulos Case</a> runs until 21 November 2025 at the Royal Opera House.

Ep. 80: Seb Philpott

Seb Philpott is a multi-faceted freelance trumpeter who has played in a variety of ensembles such as orchestras, period instrument groups, jazz bands and West End pit bands. Seb is also a presenter of the hugely popular Three in a Bar podcast, which features interviews with a wide range of people from across the music and performing arts industry. I interviewed Seb's co-host Verity Simmons so I thought it would be a lovely idea to hear from the other side. Seb and I met last year at Blackheath Halls during the annual London International Festival of Early Music. I was excited to meet Seb as I had listened to his podcast for a while and was excited to hear more about the process of putting together a music podcast. We had an enjoyable hour or so talking about topics such as the process of putting together a music podcast, performing in different musical contexts and styles, singing, memorable performances, confidence, and growing up on the Les Misérables soundtrack. -<a href="sebphilpott.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">sebphilpott.com</a><a href="threeinabar.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> </a><a href="threeinabar.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">threeinabar.com</a>
