Hello dear friends! Welcome to our brand new podcast dedicated to sight-reading. Why sight-reading? We want to show the behind-the-scenes of music-making. We begin each episode with our initial thoughts on a new score as well as musings about style, aesthetics, and instruments. We challenge ourselves to apply our understanding of historical practices to achieve a more musical reading of a given text. Whether you are amateur musicians looking for tips on sight-reading and insight into historical performance or a seasoned musician, we would be happy if you joined us.

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.
