Musical Roots

Episode 10: James Murphy, Royal Philharmonic Society

Matilda Lloyd and Helen Kuby

For our 10th episode, we are celebrating the Royal Philharmonic Society, who have generously sponsored this podcast with their Enterprise Fund and Harriet's Trust! Our guest this week is James Murphy, CEO of the RPS, who previously worked at the Royal College of Music, National Youth Orchestra (with Matilda!) and Southbank Sinfonia. We chat about his work at all of these different organisations, particularly delving deep into the future of classical music and how important young musicians are, and discussing topics such as how to present yourself onstage and tips for a career in music management.
