Episode 4
Finding the right balance between each individual voice in a chamber ensemble isn’t easy. In the history segment, Willie discusses the hierarchy of voices in an ensemble and how these roles changed and evolved across different eras. Justin explores a method to balance voices in rehearsal and performance, using the tasty analogy of a layer cake. Our guest interview features the third and final installment of our roundtable discussion with the Lafayette Quartet. And in the Skyros Chat, Willie and Sarah discuss their favorite books about classical music.
