I Had To Do It My Way: An Interview with Shulamit Ran

One of the most gratifying things about playing a piece by Shulamit Ran is getting to interact with this exemplary composer. On December 12th, we are fortunate to be joined by Shulamit on stage at Constellation for Once More, With Feeling! This series exists to deepen your appreciation and enjoyment of an unfamiliar work through on-stage interviews with the composer and by playing the piece in question at both the beginning and end of the show.

Shulamit leads an extraordinary life, and is a wonderful storyteller. We sat down for a conversation at her home recently to talk about her epic second string quartet, the elusive process of creativity, and what parts of herself find their way into her writing.

We hope you enjoy this longer-form interview, and look forward to seeing you on Thursday!
