Brimming with Creativity - with cellist and composer Wilma Pistorius
Have you heard of the music box? Could a nebula in space have anything to do with a composer's research? In this episode, Ragnhild talks with Wilma Pistorius -a cellist, composer and Alexander Technique teacher who is based in Amsterdam. As a composer today, how do you make connections?Wilma talks about her approach to this, being herself on the introverted side and would be happy to spend the evening with a book rather than being out socializing.Being a composer today involves making oneself visible (and audible, of course!), doing one's own PR, taking initiatives and being proactive, and being able to step in at a short notice.For the past several years, Wilma has walked her path piece by piece, e-mail by e-mail, concert by concert, insta post by insta post... and the ball is rolling. --------------------------Wilma's websiteSecret Compartment (toy pianos and music boxes) trailerMandarin (two cellos, voice, and (toy) piano)Wilma’s instagramWilma’s Youtube channel----------------------------Ragnhild's online Cello Course, get 15% off with the code TMJP at check-out.Are you curious about The Box?
