Here is the second half of the episode with Mr. David Hackbridge Johnson, one of the prolific 🇬🇧composers of our time. In Part 2, we focused on his compositions other than solo piano pieces, such as his 15 symphonies, the recently premiered opera “Blaze of Glory,” and more. And as always with each guest, we ended our conversation with philosophical questions such as how we, classical musicians, need to keep our industry relevant in the post-pandemic era and reach out to the 21st-century audience more creatively.
