Classical Fix is a podcast aimed at opening up the world of classical music to anyone who fancies giving it a go.

He leads two of the world’s most versatile and in-demand orchestras - the Heritage Orchestra and the Metropole Orkest - and over the past nine years he has been responsible for some of the most groundbreaking 91Èȱ¬ Proms, including the Ibiza Prom, 1Xtra's Grime Symphony, The Songs of Scott Walker, Jacob Collier and Friends, and tributes to Quincy Jones, Nina Simone and Charles Mingus. In 2019, Jules joined the 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Orchestra as Creative Artist in Association.
