After a performance by Alex McDonald of the first movement of Beethoven's Sonata op. 2 no. 3, we wrap talking about Alex's battles with injury and his experience at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, discuss our favorite Darwin Awards, and Alex's best/worst gigs and pieces of advice. We finish with a rousing game of "Serial or Aleatoric."

Alex McDonald (Part 2)

Classical pianist and host Jonathan Tsay sits down with the various personalities that make up the classical music landscape. Through long-form interviews (and games), Between the Barlines explores each musician's complex path that led them to where they are now, and along the way gathers stories about extraordinary experiences in the field (good and bad) as well as revealing pieces of wisdom which have affected each of the guest's lives, in music and beyond.
