@ Percussion Podcast

Composer, performer, visual artist, and world-renown percussionist Julie Spencer joins us for this episode all the way from Germany. In the words of Julie:Music is an expression of the soul, mediated by the language of the intellect, through an open heart. Their substance and meaning are constantly redefined in the context of personal experience and collective consciousness. As we draw strength from the conflicts and sorrows of our lives, I hope to be a voice in the creation of music for love and joy in the world.We talk about many things, highlighting those who are performing, commissioning, and premiering Julie's music.Watch here.
