‘I sit down in the morning and write notes’
Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors
‘I sit down in the morning and write notes’
‘Experience as much as possible beyond just music’
‘For me, success means living a musical life on my own terms — with honesty, depth, and freedom.
It’s not about numbers or noise. It’s about presence, attention, and the invisible shift that can happen in a room when music reaches someone.’
‘My main responsibility as a composer is to ensure my work can stand on its own, independent of my presence.’
‘I feel most at home with Verdi. His music speaks to me both vocally and emotionally, it feels like stepping into a natural space where I can fully express myself.’
