Friend of a Friend Episode 5: Stephanie Martin, composer, conductor and musician

As a composer, organ and harpsichord player, conductor and teacher, and more, Stephanie Martin wears many hats and all so gracefully. In recent years composition has taken a central role in Stephanie’s life and the twists and turns that led her there and lead her forward are the subject of our conversation — as well as thoughts on music and aging, on re-interpreting poetry, and some of our shared musical adventures over the 36 years since we first met.

Stephanie has CDs and published scores, and you can find them all via her own website:
