The Esmée Olthuis Podcast (1)
In this episode, we talk to Esmée Olthuis, a teacher at the HKU Utrechts Conservatorium, where she teaches on the Musician 3.0 programme, which she was largely instrumental in establishing. She is also a reed player, a nature lover, runs an animal shelter and, last but not least, is a musician with her own distinctive and unconventional view of music and the world.

Muziekmakers der Nederlanden is a podcast by New Music Now and the Concertzender. It features portraits of composers, musicians and other music-makers in the Netherlands, based on their ‘desert island discs’ – the pieces of music they would most like to share with the world, and which have played an important role in their work and lives.
