The art of conducting | Tan Dun

For this episode of The art of conducting, we sat down with the Chinese-born American composer and conductor Tan Dun. Considered to be a leading figure of contemporary classical music, Tan Dun brings together Western and Chinese cultural influence, a dichotomy which has been shaped his own life. In this philosophical discussion, Tan Dun discusses how he finds inspiration in nature, from his own life experiences and how this drives his music to come alive.
