Flute player Neil McLaren joins Netty for a tea and chat in the latest episode. Having served as OAE’s second flute for nearly 40 years, Neil shares how he became interested in playing the baroque flute and recounts intriguing stories about his early encounters with music. He also discusses other pursuits inspired by his life experiences.

Neil takes us back to his early life, before he began playing the flute. When he's not playing music, you can find him crafting jewellery in his workshop in Lewes. Some of his pieces are featured in the Glyndebourne shop as well as being worn by our guest artists. In addition to his musical talents, Neil is also a qualified counsellor, and he shares the journey of how he became one, along with the training process he undertook.

Tea with Netty is the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s podcast hosted by viola player Annette Isserlis (Netty). Over a cuppa (or something a little stronger…), Netty chats with a variety of conductors, players and other guests as she ‘spills the tea’ on the side of classical music you don’t normally hear.
