In this episode of ChatterBeans, I sat with musician and freelancer Lydia Walquist for an open and inspiring conversation about identity, creativity, and finding your voice in the world of classical music.
Lydia shares her journey from studying at the Royal Academy of Music to carving out her own freelance career - a path filled with flexibility, challenges, and self-initiative. She dives into her experiences with cultural identity, family dynamics, and growing up in a religious environment, and how all of this has shaped her personal and artistic evolution.
From learning Cantonese to exploring innovative concert formats, Lydia reflects on community, collaboration, and the lessons she's learned along the way. Whether you're into music, self-growth, or personal stories that stay with you, this episode is full of warmth, reflection, and creative insight.
