Cellist Inbal Segev has released the first two volumes in her latest commissioning project "20 for 2020," with two more volumes coming in the new year. The project features 20 composers she commissioned in response to the extraordinary combination of events the world experienced in 2020. It includes "an immensely varied palette of strong and distinctive compositional voices spanning a range of ages, genders and cultures, and reflects by turns the darkness of the pandemic, the BLM movement, isolation and contemplation."
I enjoyed catching up with Inbal, who is a champion of new music for the cello. I hope you enjoy our chat.
Yours in good music,
Mike Goldberg Classical Host, VPM Music
