24 January 2023Here is a link to the first episode of a podcast series that explores how orchestras are collaborating with artists from other disciplines and experimenting with how performance is presented. I talk with key players involved in exploring new performance possibilities.
My first conversation is with Charles Hazlewood, Artistic Director of Paraorchestra, the world’s only large-scale virtuoso ensemble of professional disabled and non-disabled musicians.
In our conversation, Hazlewood remarks:
Every phrase of music is an act of love from one person to another person. Every gesture, every big idea we have at Paraorchestra is largely informed by theatre.
This conversation was recorded on November 21, 2022.
