We have a fantastic new episode for you this week, another ‘In Conversation’. We were lucky enough to get together with dance pianist and silent film composer, living legend John Sweeney.
John has the most amazing career in dance accompaniment and silent movies, and we well and truly put the spotlight on him to find out about his life and career, from a person, who on the surface is rather understated.
John is also famed for his extremely varied and sophisticated improvising and that is the life blood of his work as an accompanist, and we ask him in-depth about his training and education in music that has shaped him and the way he accompanies dance.
We hope you enjoy this episode. Please let us know what you think, by emailing us at [email protected], and if there was anything you wanted to ask John, you can email your question and comment to us for a future episode.
The episode In Conversation with John Sweeney from the podcast Ballet Piano Podcast has a duration of
1:09:02. It was first published
