02. There’s Much More to Music

In this episode of the Spotlights podcast, host Matt Young chats to ethnomusicologist, Dr Cassandre Balosso-Bardin about all things music. Cassandre introduces us to the Majorcan bagpipes, the wildly successful International Bagpipe Day project, and her academic efforts to support the livelihoods of professional musicians in the UK and beyond.
