Joel chats to pianist Christina McMaster about her 'Lie Down and Listen' concerts (coming to Ludlow Piano Festival this May), her choice of repertoire, and the way she curates these events. We discuss approaches to listening through the music of John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, Arvo Pärt, and Hildegard of Bingen, delving into themes such as silence, transcendence, and the way music and acoustic experiences can be shaped to reflect tranquility as well as 'the dark side'!
