Dunedinite Holly Mathieson is technically based in Glasgow but for the past two and a half years she has been commuting to Halifax, Nova Scotia to act as the Music Director of Symphony Nova Scotia, one of Canada's top pro symphony orchestras.
The celebrated orchestra conductor and husband Jon Hargreaves are back in Glasgow at the moment - they own a traditional Glaswegian tenement right in the centre of the city - and they're about to have their first baby.
Holly and Jon work together at times and are co-founders of one of Scotland's most innovative musical groups, the Nevis Ensemble ('Scotland's Street Orchestra'), which brings music to the people and unusual places across the country.
She's Calling Home this morning.
