JOANNA & The MAESTRO
This new podcast, hosted by Joanna Lumley (right) and her husband Stephen Barlow; the famed conductor, composer and musician, just launched recently.
Recorded in the music room in their back garden, listeners will be invited into delightful, intimate conversations as they discuss their shared passion: classical music.
Expect to hear affectionate, engaging and funny conversations between the pair who realise, after almost 40 years of marriage, there are still lots of new things to learn about each other. Listeners will also be treated to live music performed by the maestro himself, as they open the doors to their musical world.
