A Conversation with Composer Caroline Shaw

Caroline Shaw is one of the most fascinating, innovative, and
brilliant composers of our time. Since winning the Pulitzer Prize
in 2013, she rocketed onto the scene and has stayed there ever
since, writing music that has captivated audiences around the
world. In this conversation, which dates back to 2020(so there is
a bit of pandemic talk at the beginning), we talked about her
musical upbringing, the shock and surprise of her Pulitzer win,
her compositional process, and much much more. This was a really
fun and edifying conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as
I did!
