672: Stephen Newton on composition




Contrabass Conversations double bass life show

Summary: It was such a pleasure to spend time with composer and Melbourne Symphony bassist Stephen Newton during my trip to Australia in 2019.  Stephen is an outstanding performer, and he has a compelling voice as a composer. A native of Sydney, Stephen joined the Melbourne Symphony in 2006, and he has performed internationally with the MSO and other ensembles. We talk about this recent solo bass suite, developing his voice as a composer, connecting wit the audience, and much more.  Enjoy!
