Somehow, Conductor As This Superhuman Conduit Between

We're Not Talking About An Elite Art Form From The Price Point Of View. We Have A Building In L.a. That Is Incredibly Open, Exciting, Inviting, And All That, And There's No Reason For This Music Not To Be Part Of Everybody's Everyday Life.

The Northern Idea Of Form Is More Of A Process. The Various Units Of The Form Overlap. You Can't Tell Where Some Things Stop And New Things Start. This Is Typical Of Sibelius.

I Feel Very Free And Very Happy To Be A Composer.

I'm Trying To Conduct Only Five Months A Year, And The Rest Will Be Composing Time. I'm Trying To Spend As Much As I Can Out Of Those Months Here In L.a., Because For Creative Work, This Is A Fantastic Place.

This Conducting Thing Happened. In 1983 I Was Sucked Into This International Career, Which Was A Very Scary Experience.
