In my line of work I bump into all kinds of interesting people with great stories to tell. However, because they work behind the scenes you won’t always get to hear them. I asked them if they’d like to talk to me (and my iPhone!) about what they do, so that I could share it with you here.

This is the second of two chats with composer Stephen McNeff. We dig deeper into the art of writing for voice, setting text to music and the nature of collaboration. We also talk about his latest opera, Banished, being premiered this summer at Trinity Laban.
