In this episode of #OLTeaBreak, our Senior Creative Producer, Stuart Bruce, chats with Sean Gregory, Vice Principal and Director of Innovation, Engagement & Lifelong Learning at Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

Sean reflects on his journey from creative music practitioner to sector leader and the changing landscape of music leadership over the past three decades. Together, they discuss the origins of participatory orchestral work, the evolving role of musicians and facilitators, and the importance of training future music leaders for a more inclusive and collaborative sector.

Looking ahead, Sean shares why he believes the demand for socially engaged music-making is greater than ever and how Orchestras Live is well placed to help shape what comes next.

“The demand and the call for this type of work […] is bigger than ever.”
