Classical IPR in conversation with Billy Childs

Billy Childs
Billy Childs

Billy Childs, one of America’s great jazz pianists and composers, collaborates with Eastman School of Music resident ensemble the Ying Quartet and vocalist Sara Gazarek in this multi-genre concert.

Billy Childs co-hosted Classical IPR's Music at Midday, sharing some of his recordings and discussing composition and his collaborations.

"I don't consciously put on a hat of a particular genre," Childs explained. "I'll use whatever pool of knowledge that I have to serve what I have as a vision for the composition."

Nancy Deneen is the host of Music at Midday and Music by Request.
