The renowned early music department of the Royal Conservatoire The Hague regularly welcomes interesting musicians from all over the world. Celebrated specialists give masterclasses, famous conductors lead orchestral projects, researchers come by to share their vision of the most striking developments in the field of performance practice.

Teunis van der Zwart, head of the early music department, records those inspiring encounters in the Royal Early Music Podcast, a series of interviews about the past, present and future of early music.

For the first episode we welcome our distinguished guest, keyboard virtuoso and conductor Richard Egarr.
