Garrett Keast and BAAM

 Coincidentally, this interview with American conductor Garrett Keast appears exactly a year since our last episode together. 27 December seems to be our anniversary! In this conversation, we catch up on some of the exciting plans for the Berlin Academy of American Music in 2023 (and 2024 ....).

This second conversation gives me the chance to feature more of the music form the BAAM 2021 album Transatlantic.

Thanks to Garrett for allowing me to play extracts from Transatlantic alongside our conversation.

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
