Why does it need protectors and supporters today, and how might you become one?
Our guest John Speed has orchestrated his life with and around music. In this open-hearted conversation, he tells us all about growing up in the cultural hothouse that was 1960s Britain, curating a record collection through decades of travelling and sound technology innovation, watching the Philharmonie come out of the ground in the early 2000s and eventually deciding to join PhilaPhil, its community of supporters. He then gives us his concert tips for the rest of the season: from country to choral music, gear up for a colourful selection!
