Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors
‘Talk up to audiences. Make everything authentically and unapologetically rich, complex, mysterious, tentacular, extraordinary, a little intimidating, perhaps, but ultimately more seductive because of that.’
‘I see success as a state of transcendence — the moments when music becomes a bridge between souls, where the boundaries between performer, audience and piano dissolve…’
‘Aim to have a portfolio of skills and learn how to speak to your audiences. As we all know, there are a plethora of phenomenal pianists out there, but what can set one apart is the ability to communicate and connect with audiences.’
‘It’s closing the piano lid at the end of the day and thinking “I can’t wait to learn that next part tomorrow” for me that is the most uplifting feeling’
‘The challenge to continually encounter music afresh is both demanding and hugely inspiring.’
