Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors
At this time, during this pandemic, it is even more important to put classical music at the centre of our lives by making our governments understand that this art is a universal message that must be considered essential
When I think about my performances or recordings the feeling I get is that each one was special in some way. I put something unique into every performance.
There is no previous performance of the same work. We just live it now. And we let the audience live it with us together.
I try to listen intently to my inner voice and the serendipity of what’s around me, but I find as I improvise on that idea I’ll catch a whisper, almost a scent of something which I chase that ultimately ends up being the composition
“I’m a huge fan of salon concerts. I love the intimacy of being in a small space with 20-50 audience members, sharing something immediate and tangible.”

The great thing about being a composer in the 21st century is that we no longer need to be the least bit affected by anyone’s arbitrary rules about what’s considered acceptable or not in concert music
