Tanzfaktor Interregio, Basel Chamber Voices, Kevin Richmond's Culture Round-Up

After 30 years of professional activity, first as a dancer, actor, choreographer, then as a director, producer, and as a networker on an international level, Philippe Olza is now an artistic consultant, working mainly in the launch of new projects. Our Arts Correspondent Kevin Richmond caught up with him as he prepares for his next theater project, Tanzfaktor Interregio. Listen to the extended interview here.

Our other guest this week was Paul Jenkins of Basel Chamber Voices. The choir has concerts coming up on January 17th and 24th, featuring traditional songs arranged by John Rutter, Thomas Dunhill, and Carlos Guastavino. Paul told us about Basel Chamber Voices, the concert programme, and why he likes singing. Basel Chamber Voices are still looking for voices!
