Conversations with Musicians with Leah Roseman is available wherever you listen to podcasts. The video and transcript are linked here on my website, where you can check out my episodes catalog and sign up for Sneak Peeks for upcoming guests: https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/jeremy-mastrangelo
This week’s guest is violinist Jeremy Mastrangelo, who’s a wonderful colleague of mine in Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra. He’s known in our greenroom as a great storyteller, onstage as an excellent musician, and having heard him give brilliant masterclasses I can attest to his excellence as an educator as well. This episode is infused with Jeremy’s wit and wisdom as well as a couple of beautiful violin performances. We talk about violin shopping in Cremona, teenage life at Interlochen Academy, the difficulties and joys of a career as an orchestral musician, family, and the benefits of deepening our understanding of the composers we play. You will find that one of the wonderful stories in this episode reveals an unexpected discovery!

There’s such a fascinating variety to a life in music; and this series features wonderful musicians worldwide with in-depth conversations and great music, with over 100 episodes to explore. For this week’s episode I was able to add some additional music to a special re-release with fiddler Alexis Chartrand who has shared 3 tracks for you to listen to. His Bandcamp and socials are linked below; so please go buy the tracks or albums if you like what you hear! Alexis talks very thoughtfully and about his background as a son of dancers, both groove and ornamentation in different traditional styles of fiddling, his explorations of tone colour with baroque violin, and some of his musical influences and inspiration. Like all my episodes, this is available wherever you listen to podcasts, the video of the original episode is on my YouTube, and the transcript is also linked to my website where you can sign up for my weekly podcast newsletter and get access to sneak peeks for upcoming guests. https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/e5-s1-alexis-chartrand-fiddler
