Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors
It’s no secret that avant-garde music communities outside of the classical spectrum have managed to evolve, thrive and be culturally relevant among the wider music populace. You have to ask yourself why classical music isn’t reaching those same heights.
For classical music to be relevant it must reflect the time and culture in which it was created.
The most challenging part is also the most fulfilling – becoming one with the music in a way in which the orchestra and audience feel at one as well
The concept behind each work is extremely important to me. The first step of composing any piece begins with my interaction with an extra-musical source inspiration, and from that I form the idea and the all-important title, which becomes the identity of the work
Exploring a new work with other musicians is always a very special privilege. Once a piece is written, composers morph from being a‘ creator’ figure into a ‘mechanic’ working in service of the players. Music lives and breathes just as human beings do.
