  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • Hello, I'm Alshamahi and this is The Conversation from the BBC World Service,

  • the programme that amplifies women's voices,

  • which is just a fancy way of saying that we find two women from different countries who have a shared expertise,

  • bring them together and see what happens.

  • Today,

  • what's it like to travel the world in charge of dozens of world-class musicians and their instruments?

  • We're joined by two women running orchestras.

  • Urshoya Erdodi is the Managing Director of the Budapest Festival Orchestra in Hungary and Sarah Bardwell is the Managing Director of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in the UK.

  • And as it's the BBC prom season, they're both here with me in the studio.

  • Orshi and Sarah, welcome to The Conversation.

  • Hi.

  • Hi. Ladies,

  • I imagine managing an orchestra when on tour is no easy task with so many different people,

  • different personalities.

  • It's a bit like herding cats.

  • Fair?

  • I don't know if that is fair, actually.

  • I think when you're on tour,

  • that is the sort of the wonderful moment when everyone really comes together and they really become a team.
