I was delighted to be joined for a second conversation with composer Michael Shapiro.

We discuss Michael's 'Peace Variations for solo violin', performed by Tim Fain. Our conversation expanded to include several other works from this prolific and extraordinary composer. I am still waiting for the chance to see Frankenstein  accompanied by Michael's orchestral score, and the next couple of years will bring his new opera, based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's The Slave.

To find out more about Michael, click here. Do look especially for the trailer for The Slave.

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
