Take a listen to this lively chat between myself and Paul Kildea as part of Musica Viva’s awesome new podcast Chamber of Musical Curiosities.
“In this instalment of the podcast, Paul Kildea has a lively conversation with percussionist and curator Claire Edwardes. The dialogue starts with Claire Edwardes’ kaleidoscopic background and how calling Claire just a ‘percussionist’ does her no justice. She talks about her love of music from a very young age and how her love of playing music with other people has led her down the path of music curation.
The conversation then turns to a discussion of various instruments and the nature of being a percussionist. The pair delve more deeply into Claire’s musical journey from Sydney to Rotterdam, her decision to leave Australia, what motivated her to return, as well as her transition from musician to composer. They also briefly touch on Musica Viva’s imminent partnership with Claire’s Hatched Academy to collaborate and workshop with upcoming Australian composers.”
