Greenroom Conversations

Listen to S04E04, our conversation with Cecile Licad on Apple, Spotify, and Sticher. Cecile Licad called "a pianist's pianist" by The New Yorker, joined us to talk about her international career, starting as a prodigy and leading to her current project of American music. http://www.barrettartists.com/artist.php?id=clicad    

Jazz French Hornist and composer John Clark talked about his career path in both classical and jazz improvisation, playing, teaching, recording, composing and publishing.  He remains one of the first and few full-time jazz horn artists in the US.  Currently, he freelances in NYC, records and publishes under his label Hidden Meaning Music.    https://hmmusic.com   

Tosca Opdam is among the most prominent artists to have emerged from the Netherlands in recent years. Dividing her time between the US and Europe, she embraces the idiosyncratic qualities of both cultural worlds to enrich a personal expressiveness in music. We talked to her about her debut of a new violin concerto and various projects.  On April 23, 2020 she performs again at Carnegie Hall, Zankel Hall.  

We are so embarrassed about the long wait and if you're reading this that means you've stuck around!  Yeah for you... and Thank you!

About our Interview with: Best Morgan.  Betsy entered the studio for our interview like a true New Yorker carrying an old full Ikea bag of tasks and errands and yet also with the positivity and friendliness of a midwesterner both of which she identifies as being. And all while being 8 ½ month pregnant. Betsy tells Ryan and Kevin all about being a multifaceted performer with lots of hats to wear which she does so well from on-stage every day to understudying, standby and swing.  Hang on tight; there's a lot to learn form Betsy in all of the ways.
