Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors
My composing method varies piece by piece and the challenge is staying open and not judging how it wants to present itself.
I love the idea that there is no art without resistance from the medium, there are always boundaries to push against especially with a commission. The instrumentation, the style, the budget, the desires of the people you are working with, but all of these constraints force you into a place of creativity which you may never have thought of otherwise.
Listen to as wide a range of music as you can, not just classical. Follow your ear….
Schubert’s music speaks very directly to my heart. Every time I come to this music, new things come to my attention and I change the way I want to perform it
Play as many concerts as you can, everywhere, every week. That’s the only way to get a relaxed feeling on stage on any circumstances.
