My special guest is the incredible, genre-defying composer, producer, and performer Anna Meredith. I first discovered Anna when a dear friend introduced me to her epic piece ‘Nautilus,’ and I just couldn’t stop listening. Earlier this year, I had the absolute joy of conducting it with the Britten Sinfonia. In this conversation, Anna takes us deep into her creative world of sound, rhythm, and space, and we begin with the moment we met for the very first time.
