With an active performing and recording schedule, and a growing studio of students, Shawn Tairyu Head has dedicated himself to bringing the shakuhachi to new audiences around the world. While he embraces the traditional melodies of the ancient repertoire known as honkyoku, his classical conservatory training and Western spiritual perspective make him equally at home composing and commissioning new works that explore the unique sonic possibilities of the shakuhachi. As a performer, composer, and teacher, his goal is nothing less than a shakuhachi revival.
In this conversation, you will find SO MUCH GOLD for the 21st century musician. Shawn is SO GENEROUS in sharing his path and his process, and he has TONS of fantastic advice. I recommend you take notes and take note! I know I did.

Michelle Lynn, a Canadian pianist now based in Europe, expanded from being a classical musician to being an entrepreneur by founding the Fearless Artist Mastermind during COVID-19. The program helps classical musicians build fulfilling careers through monthly online calls, hot seats for peer advice, and a social media program called the Sprint. Michelle emphasizes the importance of a growth mindset, overcoming fear of judgment, and leveraging relationships. Michelle advocates for redefining success and encourages musicians to focus on their unique strengths and the broader impact of their work.
I love having coaches on this podcast because I always seem to find ahas for myself in our conversations! Michelleâs take on both PERFORMING and LIVING is so refreshing. She talks about being of service - being there for the audience, for your colleagues, for the organizations you are working with - and about taking the pressure off yourself to be perfect because what people want is HUMANITY. And I am HERE for her message. I know you will love this episode.

We talk about consistency as though it is the be-all and end-all of a musical career, a reedmaking business, teaching, parenting, business - but what if the truth were something more ...flexible?

When an art song and opera composer writes a memoir, what does that process look like? Does mastery in one creative realm translate to another? How is an aria like a story?
I just loved this deep and passionate conversation with Ricky Ian Gordon, author of the new memoir SEEING THROUGH: A Chronicle of Sex, Drugs, and Opera.
Ricky Ian Gordon was born in Oceanside, NY and raised on Long Island. After studying piano, composition, and acting, at Carnegie Mellon University, he settled in New York City, where he quickly emerged as a leading writer of vocal music that spans art song, opera, and musical theater. Gordonâs songs have been performed and recorded by RenĂ©e Fleming, Dawn Upshaw, Nathan Gunn, Judy Collins, Kelli OâHara, Audra MacDonald, Kristin Chenoweth, and many others. His works include Dream True, Orpheus and Euridice, Green Sneakers for Baritone, String Quartet, Empty Chair, and Piano, The Grapes of Wrath, and Intimate Apparel. His memoir SEEING THROUGH: A Chronicle of Sex, Drugs, and Opera was published in July 2024.

I have wondered, in my darker days, whether this portfolio career I love is truly sustainable. Whether I can really keep tweaking and evolving all the way until I stop. This interview gave me an inspiring YES!
Hailed by Fanfare Magazine as "one of the great cellists of our time", Nancy Green is an internationally recognized recording artist, known for her highly acclaimed CDs of previously unrecorded works as well as staples of the cello repertoire. Her numerous CDs, which include many premieres, are broadcast worldwide and her performances have earned rave reviews internationally. Her CD recordings on the US label, JRI, and the British labels, Cello Classics and Biddulph Recordings, have received special notice in many major publications, among them Strings Magazine (Editor's Choice), MusicWeb International (CD of the Month), Fanfare Magazine (Want List), and Classical Music Magazine (CD of the Fortnight). Her recording of the Brahms sonatas with duo partner Frederick Moyer was named by Fanfare Magazine as the "hands-down pick" for these standard works which have been recorded, sometimes multiple times, by the most acclaimed cellists in history. Green has performed as soloist in venues such as the Kennedy Center, Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Recital Hall, as well as London's Wigmore Hall, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and Windsor Castle. She has also performed in major concert halls in Holland, Belgium, and the Far East. International press reviews have likened her to great cellists such as Rostropovich, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jacqueline du Pré. Since 2015 Ms. Green no longer performs live and is exclusively a recording artist.

Michael Cooke is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and composer, seamlessly blending the worlds of jazz and classical music. A two Emmy Awards and the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award, Cookeâs versatility shines through in his mastery of soprano, alto, and tenor saxophones, flute, soprano and bass clarinets, bassoon, and percussion. A cum laude graduate in composition from the University of North Texas, his academic pursuits encompassed jazz, ethnomusicology, music history, theory, and composition.
Beginning his professional orchestral career in 1991, Michael performed with numerous symphonies across North Texas. His talent has taken him to stages in Europe, Mexico, and all over the United States. Since 1994, Cimarron Music Press has been publishing many of his compositions, reflecting his diverse musical influences and skills.
After moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, Michael continued to forge new paths in both improvised and composed music. His work is a reflection of a rich multicultural experience, blending various styles and techniques. In 1999, he founded Black Hat Records, a jazz label that further showcases his commitment to musical exploration. Currently serving on the Board of Directors of the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra, Cooke continues to influence the music scene with his innovative contributions.
Described by the San Francisco Beacon as an artist who flows âout color and tone with a feeling I havenât heard in quite a while,â Michaelâs unique sound sets him apart in the music world. The All Music Guide praises his work as âuncompromising, fiery, complex, passionate, and cathartic,â particularly noting his performances on Searching by Cooke Quartet, Statements by Michael Cooke, and The Is by CKW Trio.
His latest release, An Indefinite Suspension of The Possible, showcases an unusual yet compelling mix of woodwinds, trombone, cello, koto, and percussion. This album captures the essence of his innovative spirit, creating a synergy in improvised music that taps into previously unexplored realms. Michael Cooke stands out as a significant figure in contemporary music, constantly pushing the boundaries of jazz and classical genres through his inventive compositions and exhilarating performances.
