217: Pianist Clare Hammond and Michael Betteridge

Pianist Clare Hammond is no stranger to the Thoroughly Good Podcast. She appeared here a few years ago to talk about performing Schubert in prisons. This time she returns with composer Michael Betteridge to discuss another prison project — one in which they co-created new music with prisoners, pieces Clare later performed. What follows is a conversation about impact — about leadership, trust, and humanity revealed and sustained through participatory music-making. Themes that are equally evident in Clare’s recent album of piano concertos by Britten, Walton, and Tippett . Substance.
