    Q&T with Mary Petrich – Neptunefulness

    Phoenix-based saxophonist/composer/educator Mary Petrich stops by the VJC Q&T podcast for a spirited conversation with host Russell Schmidt. A founding member of the Nash Composers Coalition, Mary is deeply admired by her peers for her uniquely creative voice, both as a performer and composer. Join us today as we share questions and tangents on such matters as how practice habits can morph into compositions, the connection between vibration in one’s horn and vibration in the body, and even consider how the creative process might be analogous to excavation. NOTE: This episode was recorded in late February 2020. It is the final VJC Q&T episode to be recorded prior to the massive upheaval resulting from the global pandemic. While thought was given to shelving this episode–as the current state of affairs goes blissfully unmentioned throughout–the decision was made to release it nonetheless, in large part because it frequently focuses on beauty in the creative process.
