Liz and Steph talk with the charismatic and poignant Brian Balmages, conductor, composer and passionate music educator. Brian is well-known for his catalogue of widely accessible compositions for student band and orchestra, but is also highly in-demand as a clinician and guest conductor. Steph has known Brian since their undergrad days, and can attest to his flair for performing and...talking. Liz and Steph get Brian’s perspective on the creative process and how everyone, even a world-renowned composer, has bad, not-so-creative days. If you’re looking for a little bit of inspiration and thinly-veiled pep talk, this episode is sure to lift your spirits and leave you smiling.
