FSOE episode 6: Juliet Palmer - Part 2

Episode 6 (May 19, 2021): This is Part 2 of a two-part episode. 

In the latter part of our conversation, Juliet Palmer and I zeroed in on a specific recent project with Toronto's highly collaborative Element Choir, their leader Christine Duncan, and Continuum Contemporary Music. We also discuss Urbanvessel (Juliet is the founder and Artistic Director), thethe surprising music that she is making at home for fun, and the birds of New Zealand who star in their own daily radio spot.

Fresh Sounds / Open Ears is an interview podcast about composition and music education, hosted by composer Alex Eddington. Every episode, I have a conversation with a different Canadian composer - with a focus on their writing for/with young and amateur musicians.
