Brandon and Sarah have a fascinating interview with the renowned violin soloist and composer, Curtis Stewart. Curtis talks about his multifaceted career as composer, Artistic Director of the American Composers Orchestra, professor at The Juilliard School, and member of award-winning ensembles PUBLIQuartet. He shares the ways in which he realizes a vision to find personal and powerful connections between styles, cultures and musical traditions, while “turning people’s heads” towards important social issues through art. He also talks about his personal journey with loss and grief, with his new all-original recording, “Of Love,” which is dedicated to his mother, Elektra Kurtis, a Greek/Jazz violinist who passed away from brain cancer.
