39 - Rebecca Smithorn and The National Phil's YouTube Series "Composers in Crisis"
The Great Composers Podcast - a classical music podcast - En podcast af Kevin Nordstrom
I'm pleased to welcome to the show Rebecca Smithorn, cover conductor and lecturer with the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Rebecca is host of the National Phil's YouTube series "Composers in Crisis" which takes a look at composers whose lives and art were transformed by times of global crisis. In our interview we talk about several composers in crisis: Beethoven, Ravel, Ruth Crawford-Seeger, John Corigliano, Undine Smith Moore, and a good ol' good one, Louis Armstrong, who Duke Ellington said was "Born poor, died rich, and never hurt anyone in between."
