Make sure you give Mike’s interview with St. Louis Public Radio a listen. He talks about tonight’s upcoming show with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and Robert McDuffie at Stifel Theatre.
Here’s a snippet from the interview:
“Having the nerve to do this in the first place was something. I had to draw on whatever self-confidence I have, because it’s a daunting thing if you’ve never written for classical audiences. I grew up around the symphony, so I know how discerning they can be. So there was a lot of pressure to do that. So I just had to rely on the fact that I’ve been successful as a songwriter, and as a melodist. And I just tried to apply those skills to what I’m doing here.” – Mike
