Eric Whitacre

In this episode of Last, Past & Blast, Charlotte speaks with composer, conductor and speaker, Eric Whitacre. We'll hear about the piece of music that utterly changed the course of Eric's life, how he doesn’t just sing in the shower but sings with the shower, and how he was tempted to stage dive at the Royal Albert Hall.
