Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors
Pianists all face the challenge of making a career in a profession filled with a large number of exceptional artists, all vying for a small number of performance opportunities. Post-pandemic, I hope to see an increase in live performances; it’s just not the same listening to video recordings online.
the more I can engage with audiences, and ideally introduce them to more obscure repertoire, the more successful I feel
We absolutely adore the blended sound of our renaissance instruments which sound like a magnificent organ when played together, especially in church-like acoustics. We also enjoy playing new arrangements and introducing audiences to contemporary music, and finding ways to connect all these elements for a concert programme.
Stay humble and keep learning.
The greatest challenge of my career was that I wanted not only to be a musician, but to live all of life. I wanted to have a family and experience the other joys of living. In that sense, I was my own greatest challenge.
