• The Forum with Michael Bawtree

  03/06/2013

  We had a good Forum meeting after the 10.30 am service yesterday. This time I was interviewing Michael Bawtree.

  Michael is an international musicial and conductor based in Glasgow but frequently travelling the world.

  Some of the things we talked about were:

  • Can you tell a musician’s faith by the music they make?
  • What is Spirituality and is it the same as Religion?
  • Why commission new music?
  • What makes a musician?

  We also discovered Michael’s guilty secret – he revealed which composer he just doesn’t quite get.

  You can see it all in the video below.

  (Note that the sound is considerably improved from last week).
