Choral conductor Greg Beardsell with the many voices of the voice
Choral conductor Greg Beardsell opens up a selection of classical music from a musician鈥檚 point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Greg Beardsell is a choral conductor and educator who loves the human voice and everything it can do. Greg has chosen a rousing coronation anthem by Handel, a piece recorded under lockdown by his colleagues in the London Youth Chamber Choir and a vocal ensemble incorporating beatboxing into their performance of of a new work by Anna Meredith.
Greg also explains why the music of Riverdance is a real conducting challenge; chooses Joseph Horovitz's Euphonium Concerto as an example of impressive breath control and picks music by Charles Ives which poses an existential question...
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
