| 10/8/25 | Special Series for zamus: Why We Gather – Behind the zamus Symposium | In this final episode of our zamus mini-series, we meet two of the driving forces behind the “Creating New Spaces” symposium: Charlotte Nachtsheim, organiser of the event, and Mélanie Froehly artistic director of zamus. Together with the artistic director of the festival Midori Seiler they have shaped the structure of the symposium and brought this idea come true.We speak with Charlotte about the meaning of colonialism and decolonialism in the context of early music—how the field is shaped by its history, and what it means to rethink that history in today’s world. Can early music become a space for equity, awareness, and reflection?Then, Mélanie shares her artistic vision and the story behind integrating such an important topic into a festival setting. We talk about structural challenges, curatorial decisions, and the deep personal motivation that connects both women to this work—not just as organisers, but as musicians and advocates for a more inclusive and responsible cultural scene.Together, they explore how music and art can become a safe space—where difficult conversations are welcomed, and new perspectives can flourish.Music in the episode:Florence Price: Symphony No. 1 in E minorAlice Smith (1839-1884) - Symphony in A minor00:00 – Intro & guest introductions: Charlotte Nachtsheim & Mélanie Froehly00:53 – Symposium theme: “Creating New Spaces”02:09 – Colonialism & decolonisation in early music04:49 – Problematic content & how to handle it06:10 – Transition to Mélanie Froehly07:07 – The concept of zamus - Center of Early Music in Cologne08:58 – How the idea for the symposium emerged, collegial approach11:14 – Integrating the symposium into the festival12:40 – Present perspectives & future plans13:18 – Personal motivation & societal change15:22 – Sneak peek at the next zamus edition18:40 – Outro#EarlyMusic#DecolonisingMusic#ColonialHeritage#HistoricalPerformance#CriticalClassics#OperaReimagined#MusicAndSociety#InclusiveArts#MusicHistoryMatters#BaroqueVoices#SoundAndStory#ArtAsResistance#NewSpacesInMusic#CulturalReflection#ListeningDifferently | — | ||||||
| 10/8/25 | Special Series for zamus: Troubled Texts, Critical Questions – Inside Critical Classics | In this second episode of our zamus mini-series, we take a deep dive into the work of Critical Classics—an initiative that rethinks how we perform historical operas and oratorios by addressing racism, exoticism, and other forms of discrimination embedded in the original texts.We’re joined by Leyla Ercan, co-initiator of the project, and Änne-Marthe Kühn, dramaturge and researcher, who reflect on how theatre can both reveal and reproduce harmful narratives. Together, they share the origins of the project, their guiding principles, and what it means to reframe canonical works like The Magic Flute in a way that speaks to our current world.We discuss strategies of sensitivity reading, the role of text and subtext, and how audiences respond when difficult truths are brought to light. What does it mean to preserve tradition—and when does that tradition need to be questioned?🎭 More about the project: criticalclassics.org/downloads🎼 With music from Orkester Nord, courtesy of Aparte label: Watch hereTimecodes:00:00 – Introduction of guests: Leyla Ercan & Änne-Marthe Kühn01:10 – “I dislike theatre” – the critical power of the stage02:02 – Änne-Marthe Kühn: background & why she joined Critical Classics03:09 – Leyla Ercan: the roots of theatre criticism04:15 – Aims & mission of Critical Classics07:15 – Audience reactions & communication09:49 – Theatre tools & character portrayal12:44 – Strategies for working with texts15:25 – Technical methods: how Critical Classics handles opera material18:17 – Finding inner conflicts that speak to today19:18 – Why we still need these old stories20:21 – Historical context of classical opera theatre22:04 – Outro#EarlyMusic#DecolonisingMusic#ColonialHeritage#HistoricalPerformance#CriticalClassics#OperaReimagined#MusicAndSociety#InclusiveArts#MusicHistoryMatters#BaroqueVoices#SoundAndStory#ArtAsResistance#NewSpacesInMusic#CulturalReflection#ListeningDifferently | — | ||||||

| 9/30/25 | Taste of Dissonance – Rachel Brown (Part 2) | In this second part of my conversation with the internationally acclaimed flutist, researcher, and author Rachel Brown, we continue our journey into the world of 18th-century flute culture.We speak about the flute makers who shaped the sound of our time, the virtuoso players of the 18th century and their repertoire, and the surprising way dissonance can be described in terms of taste experiences. Our conversation also touches on the role of historical clothing and why women were often excluded from playing wind instruments, and Rachel shares her own creative voice as a composer, including her projects inspired by Telemann’s Twelve Fantasias for solo flute.This episode of (In)Sight-Reading Enlightenment is kindly supported by the Christoph Merian Stiftung.💌 I’d love to hear from you: write me at insightreading.enlightenment@gmail.com.#RachelBrown #Quantz #Telemann #BaroqueFlute #Traverso #EarlyMusic #HistoricalPerformance #Bach #FlutePodcast #BaroqueMusic #18thCenturyMusic #WomenInMusic #ChristophMerianStiftung | — | ||||||

| 7/31/25 | Feminale Conversations: Female Rage, Pink Quotas, and Shared Responsibility | In this episode, I speak with Margalith Eugster and Elisa Rumici about the first edition of the Feminale Festival Basel, held in April 2025. We talk about how this student-led festival at the Hochschule für Musik FHNW brought attention to female composers, institutional structures, and the necessity of sharing both responsibility and space in the musical landscape.From blind concerts to panels on gender quotas and parenthood, from curating with care to navigating helplessness and female rage — we reflect on what it means to stay constructive, collaborate meaningfully, and imagine the future of a festival like Feminale.🕒 Time Codes:00:00 Intro music from JAHRE DORA PEJAČEVIĆ – EINE FEMMAGE02:44 Organising Feminale & Christmas story time07:11 The idea of Femmage07:40 Music excerpt: Scherzo No. 2, Op. 14 by Clara Schumann, performed by Elisa Rumici👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku1azFsRgHo10:05 Discussing quotas, stereotypes & parenthood14:02 Composers and collaboration — the geographical aspect16:14 Lili Boulanger, Germaine Tailleferre, Clara Schumann, Fanny Hensel, and others18:20 Music excerpt from JAHRE DORA PEJAČEVIĆ – EINE FEMMAGE20:45 Blind concerts22:30 Helplessness as a present feeling — building islands24:09 Personal motivation: female rage and dignity27:57 Thoughts on the future of the Feminale29:32 Outro music from FEMINALE Hamburg – Hedwig Janko Trio Jazz Concert🎶 Music featured in this episode:– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODUz5_7RrrA– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL7tuhKGNeY📩 Feedback & contact: insightreading.enlightenment@gmail.com📸 Instagram: @insight_reading_enlightenment#feminalebasel #feminale2025 #femalecomposers #genderinmusic #insightreadingenlightenment #elisarumici #margalitheugster #quotendiskussion #parenthoodinmusic #femalerage #musicaldignity #clarschumann #dorapejacevic #liliboulanger #fannyhensel #inclusivemusicmaking #blindconcerts #stayconstructive #buildingislands #festivalmaking | — | ||||||
| 6/23/25 | Superwomen & Salonnières: Rethinking the Feminine Past with Laura Granero and Sebastian Bausch | Hello dear friends,What does it mean to be a “superwoman” in music—then and now? In this episode, we travel from the finely tuned mechanics of 19th-century fortepianos to the bold visions of contemporary curators as we explore Superwomen—a newly launched festival in Basel by pianist and researcher Laura Granero and piano restorer Sebastian Bausch, the duo behind Klavieratelier Mignon 1904.Together, we unfold a multi-sensory conversation, from salon culture to technological time capsules. Expect to meet the dazzling Fanny Davies—not only a pianist of Schumann’s inner circle but also a visual artist and chronicler of her musical world (hear her play Davidsbündlertänze here). We’ll also discuss diva, entrepreneur, and Rossini’s first wife Isabella Colbran (profile), whose fortune helped fund the composer’s comfort.And yes, there were bread sculptures. The 19th-century salon scene was full of unexpected flourishes—often led by female artists who shaped cultural trends far beyond the concert hall. We dive into the curious tale of musical baking, the gender politics of programming, and the enduring influence of the salonnières.Adding a present-day sparkle, we taste a bottle from Cava Hispania and raise a glass to Darina's second podcast, Why White Wine, celebrating the role of wine in collaboration and storytelling.With fortepiano improvisations on John Field’s Nocturne No. 5 (performed by Laura Granero), reflections on feminist agency in curation, and a touch of irony, this episode invites you to rethink tradition with intelligence, warmth, and a generous pour.🕰 Full time codes:00:00 – Intro + Field Nocturne No. 503:19 – On artistic design choices04:24 – What is Atelier 1904?09:45 – Piano roll technology as time travel14:05 – Who curated the concerts back then?20:45 – What concert culture felt like in the 19th century23:21 – Performing vs. hosting27:30 – Inside the Superwomen Festival41:34 – How to research female creators47:30 – Sebastian on being a feminist in classical music50:00 – Wine tasting on air: Cava Hispania + Why White Wine54:14 – Tips for discovering women composersOutro – Fanny Davies plays Schumann💌 Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share if this inspired you to seek more hidden heroines of music history.Contact me: insightreading.enlightenment@gmail.com #EarlyMusicMatters#ForgottenVoices#WomenInMusicHistory#SalonCulture#HistoricalInstruments#PianoRollRevival#FortepianoVibes#SuperwomenFestival#FeministMusicology#ReclaimHerStory#MusicalTrailblazers#ClassicalFeminism#HiddenHeroines#SalonSisters#MusicPodcast#ClassicalMusicPodcast#PodcastForMusicLovers#InSightReadingEnlightenment#ListenLearnUnwind#BaselCulture | — | ||||||

My guest today is an inspiring pianist with a truly humanistic approach to early music, Laura Granero. http://lauragranero.com Laura is the founder of the "Fanny Davies Ensemble", which is based on a collaborative and innovative approach. Laura is currently opening a brand new concert space in Basel that welcomes musicians with new concert formats. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/861602174297 In today's episode, we read two songs by Fanny Hensel-Mendelssohn and discuss the historically informed 19th century perspective that has been replaced in our minds by an expectation of what classical music should sound like that excludes the sound philosophy of the time and is relevant or the Romantic time approach to music. We talked about inclusivity and awareness in relation to building a concert programme and dealing with the issue of classical music's 'greatest hits' and their problematic nature.
