The Downing Arts Podcast

Downing Arts is the combination, collaboration, and contemplation of Drama, Music, the Visual Arts, and Literary activities across the college – bringing together students, Fellows, staff, and the wider community to participate, observe, and enjoy a richly stimulating cultural environment. Join me, Louisa Denby - Downing's Director of Music - for a weekly digest of Creative Arts events in college, plus exclusive interviews with students, staff, Fellows, and alumni. Episodes are released weekly during term time and feature a broad range of topics, from favourite films to brilliant books, from new artistic endeavours to established alumni careers, brought to you from Downing College in the University of Cambridge, UK. https://www.dow.cam.ac.uk/creative-arts
