This episode features LA-based musician Jonathan Hepfer, who runs the concert series Monday Evening Concerts. In the first part of our talk, Jonathan speaks about his studies at the SUNY Buffalo, the Oberlin Conservatory, UCSD, and Musikhochschule Freiburg, and what his different mentors have meant to him. In the second part, he talks about how he developed his thinking as a curator.
The opening music is Jonathan performing Giacinto Sceli's Ko-Tha II; midway you'll hear an excerpt from Salvatore Sciarrino's Le Voci Sottovetro, and at the end a longer excerpt from the 1974 classic Femenine by Julius Eastman.
