Interviews with musicians, composers and conductors

‘Perform as much as you can: whether it be at your school, the local pub, the village hall, busking outside Argos…’

‘Find ways to make music with other people at every opportunity’
‘My main responsibility as a composer is to ensure my work can stand on its own, independent of my presence.’
