Excitingly, this new episode of the classical music podcast, Meet the Musicians, was recorded on location!

In February 2026, James traveled to Paddington, London, to speak with the violinist and Royal College of Music Professor Madeleine Mitchell.

She retold her fond memories of growing up in Essex, of meeting (and interviewing) the legendary violinist Yehudi Menuhin, and she had some great advice for aspiring musicians and recording artists.
