Interview – MEET THE ARTIST

Salvador Brotons, conductor

January 24, 2022 The Cross-Eyed Pianist

I feel that my role is to be communicative and clear and show everyone the joy of music

I like to remind myself that the nerves I’m feeling in anticipation of an upcoming concert stem from the fact that what I do is of great importance to me, and that I’m about to do something that I have been dreaming of doing for years.

Juan Sánchez, composer & pianist

January 17, 2022 The Cross-Eyed Pianist

The ability to express one’s inner soul and communicate on a completely different level through the power of music is unparalleled in any other form of human communication, and having the ability and determination to achieve this is immensely rewarding.

Paul Paccione, composer

January 13, 2022 The Cross-Eyed Pianist

Composition, for me, involves the combination of musical materials through analysis, intuition and chance – a subtle mixture of freedom and constraint.

Sam Sadigursky, clarinettist & composer

January 6, 2022 The Cross-Eyed Pianist

I’m not a structured composer, and I never had any proper schooling in it. Instead I see it as an extension of my playing and a tool for developing my playing.
