Harmonious World
Harmonious World consists of interviews with great musicians, composers and producers across all genres, from jazz to classical, from folk to rock and everything in between. I’m a writer, musician and podcaster and this all started with a Quincy Jones quote I came across by chance during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown: “Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing." I'm so pleased to have interviewed - and will continue to interview - so many great musicians from around the world.

Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, featuring a conversation with harpist Yolanda Kondonassis. It is a great honour to be featuring this conversation in the run-up to America's celebration of all things to do with mothers on 14 May - Mothers Day.
Yolanda's latest single is a striking composition by the great Cuban virtuoso and composer Arturo Sandoval. Wildflower is a celebration of Kondonassis's own mother and is a supplemental track to her 2022 album Five Minutes for Earth.
Thanks to Yolanda for allowing me to play extracts from Wildflower alongside our conversation.

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
