Dear Lara with Lara St John

Canadian violinist and filmmaker, Lara St John, sat down with me in Cologne to talk about her upcoming film, Dear Lara. Having received rave reviews at the Santa Barbara Film Festival earlier this year, Dear Lara is a documentary on sexual abuse at major classical music conservatories in orchestras across the world. I loved chatting to Lara, but it goes without saying this episode might be triggering to some of you. If you’re not in the headspace for topics of abuse and trauma, perhaps give this one a miss and come back next week.
