• 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).

  It is worth noting that today is the feast day of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop murdered in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170.The thing to note is that the major part of what caused such a division between him and the king (Henry II) was over the question of whether the church or the state…
