Episode 141 - Jan Latham-Koenig

Jan Latham-Koenig has had a long and distinguished career all across the globe and as a consequence, has many stories to tell. He was charming and honest, always a great combination. I discovered how a change of conducting teacher at the Royal College of Music helped his career to start, I found out how close he came to becoming a politician, and I discovered how he managed to stage three different opera productions in Chile all whilst his orchestra was on strike!
