Finally, Steven Fox

Michael Fertik interviews Steven Fox, the Artistic Director of New York’s Clarion Choir, Music Direct or the Washington National Cathedral, and one of the world’s most celebrated conductors of his generation.

This is a very intimate interview with Grammy-nominated. We address music, politics, perfectionism, where inspiration comes from in the arts, the happiness and unhappiness of the artist and of performance, the book Steven read thirty years ago that continues to be instructive, the classical compositions and manuscripts he (re)discovered during his life, his lengthy experience in Russia over twenty years ago and what it tells him about Putin, and if, ever, he has time to be silly.
