Christopher Blake: Baby Boomer Composer Interview - VIDEO

About

The delivery of a piano to the Blake household in Christchurch (sent from a great aunt in Dunedin) was the “bomb going off” that propelled a young Christopher along a musical path (with diversions in the field of engineering and, very significantly, orchestra management and public service).

Christopher’s interview features extended excerpts from Resound films of his viola solo A Viola on Skye and Symphony - Voices.

Filmed and edited by Chris Watson for the Resound Project (funded by NZ On Air). Audio recorded by Graham Kennedy.
