We welcome cellist, composer, vocalist and improviser India Gailey to this months CQ podcast. India is a multi-talented artist who works across musical genres as well as dance and other art forms.

During the show we discuss India's work, her influences and her recent album Problematica. The music from the album and the range of the Cello in this work has to be heard to be believed. Truly amazing. Oh and we have a fun time as well!

Something a little different this month as Jacob and I interview Charlotte and Bien from Trash Panda Brass - a queer brass band residing in Toronto. Formed in 2022 the band have made quite an impact in the brass band scene with their exciting and joyful arrangements of modern pop classics.

We had a wonderful time talking and laughing with them about their work and music in general. You will love their arrangements! Of course you have to listen to find out the origin of their name!

Jacob and I are excited to introduce you to the Gay4Nature collective. Based in Canada they work at the intersection of queer identity and climate justice - a unique combination.

We had a wonderful time talking to the founders Anna Bigland-Pritchard and Alex Chen. We covered a wide range of topics including their new work, Green, of which we hear a preview. Stay to the end to hear a queer version of the coffee cantata! Amazing!
