Join us in part two of a special two-part episode in which Dr. Markand Thakar challenges us to transcend the ordinary through music.
"To absorb yourself into the sound you have to let go of your place in the world..."
Markand Thakar is a music director of the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra and co-director of graduate conducting at the Peabody Conservatory.
Drawing from ideas in Markand's book- Looking for the "Harp" Quartet: An Investigation into Musical Beauty, we investigate:
Fundamental elements of totality of the sound
Balance, playing in ensembles, tempo, tone
Teaching and conducting
