My Shostakovich program of two final masterpieces—the Michelangelo Suite Op. 145 and the Viola Sonata Op. 147—comes to Cambridge’s Camerata Musica this Saturday night and then London’s Wigmore Hall on Tuesday.
Live Not By Lies
In June of last year, English rock star Winston Marshall caused a sensation—by leaving his band, Mumford and Sons, but also by his impassioned and eloquent letter explaining his decision. I found it moving to read it and to learn how much he was sustained by my father’s timeless essay, “Live Not by Lies”.
I was pleased and honored to be Winston’s first guest on his new podcast at the Spectator. We touched on several trends in Western culture, including a growing intolerance of free speech. Video below.
