In this episode, I spoke with three composition students about the musical and professional landscape they are about to graduate into: Jonty Watt, of Oxford, England; Ben Schweitzer, of the University of Massachussetts Amherst, and Thomas McGee, of Williams College. All three have one thing in common: they have all worked with me as private composition students over Skype, and though I have worked with some of them for years, we have never met in person. They are candid about the challenges they are facing, as well as some of the ways in which the world of composition seems to be evolving.More about Ben SchweitzerMore about Jonty WattMore about Thomas McGeeSUPPORT THIS PODCASTPatreonDonorboxORDER SAMUEL ANDREYEV’S NEWEST RELEASEIridescent NotationLINKSYouTube channelOfficial WebsiteTwitterInstagramEdition Impronta, publisher of Samuel Andreyev’s scoresEPISODE CREDITSPodcast artwork photograph © 2019 Philippe StirnweissSupport the show
