Today I want to share a conversation with Alasdair Nicolson; composer, international music festival director, conductor and performer. I really appreciate the time Alasdair spared to talk me to about the his working practice, the effect of education on the development of aspiring artists and the reality of living a creative productive life today in the 21st century.

Alasdair Nicholson’s work has been performed worldwide; he is ‘keeping it real’ by being out there working and performing with a portfolio of skills and shares his journey, which I believe, is relevant to many art forms. As Artistic Director of St. Magnus International Music Festival – the inspired dream of Sir Peter Maxwell Davis, he will soon take up the post of artistic director of the Bath International Festival. I enjoyed as ever talking to Alasdair and I hope you do to.
