Digital Media and Performing Musicians

In this podcast, I interview René van Munster, a classical cellist and portfolio musician who performs with several ensembles in the Netherlands, such as Cello Octet Amsterdam. (https://cellooctet.com/) We talk about the role of digital media in a performing musician’s work, from social media to live-streaming, and how, for example, playing music through a digital platform was a way for musicians to reconnect with their audiences during the Corona pandemic.

All the music that you hear on this podcast are excerpts played by René and musicians from Stichting Mimic (http://www.mimicmuziek.nl/en/home-english/). René kindly allowed me to use them for this podcast.
