Ron Korb

Hi everyone, I’m thrilled to welcome a very special guest to this episode of The Talk Music Podcast—the twice GRAMMY-nominated flautist, RON KORB.

Ron’s extraordinary music transcends genres, weaving together elements of Instrumental, World, Crossover, Classical, Latin, Soundtrack, and New Age. Deeply rooted in the cultural richness of his Asian-Canadian heritage, his compositions reflect a global journey—both musically and literally—as he’s traveled the world collecting indigenous flutes from Europe, Asia, and South America.

With 30 albums to his name, Ron has also made his mark in film, contributing to the score of The Eight Hundred, the highest-grossing international box office hit of 2020, as well as working with celebrated directors like Ang Lee, Atom Egoyan, Mira Nair, and John Woo. His music has been featured in Being Julia, The White Countess, and two IMAX films narrated by Tom Cruise and Jennifer Lawrence.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Ron perform live with an exceptional ensemble at the Sakura celebration at the Japanese Cultural Centre. It was an unforgettable evening filled with magical moments and mesmerizing music.

In our conversation, we dive into Ron’s incredible music journey, and I’m excited to share song clips from across his entire career. 

Enjoy!
