Episode 14: Ellie Consta, Violinist & Her Ensemble
This week's guest is freelance violinist Ellie Consta, who founded Her Ensemble in 2020: a free-form group that aims to dismantle gender stereotypes and address the gender gap in classical music. In this episode, we discuss the differences between the pop and classical music worlds, self-expression through concert clothes, the difficulties of being a freelance musician, the challenges of stepping into a role as a director, how to research music by female composers, burnout and more!
