European Champagne with Aldo Baerten

Coming from the basement of an architectural museum in Aachen, this week I chat with the principal flute of The Royal Antwerp Symphony, Aldo Baerten. Aldo’s had a truly international career, and today he tells me all about how he chose his gold Powell, the acoustical differences of European concert halls and the importance of the European Union for music.Grma xInline G Merch ⭐️www.Inlineg.myshopify.comInline G Patreon ⭐️www.patreon.com/TheInlineGFlutePodcastInline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but signing up to the Patreon helps let this podcast reach new heights, if you can afford it.
