Interview: Tim Hagen

Flutist-composer Tim Hagen discusses the personal “sonic encyclopedia” that guides his performance style, explains why all performers should compose, and encourages us to explore our “why” in a carefully crafted mission statement. We think his dream collaborations will surprise and inspire you, and there’s a great sneak peek at his upcoming projects (oh so many!) along with his favorite advice from composer Adolphus Hailstork.  https://www.timothyhagen.com/ Matthew Syed, Bounce: https://www.matthewsyed.co.uk/book/bounce-the-myth-of-talent-and-the-power-of-practice/ Carol Dweck, Mindset: https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2006-08575-000 William Westney, The Perfect Wrong Note: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/27585 Soper, Only the Words Themselves Mean What They Say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVWHGx-LRL4 Alex Temple, Willingly: https://alextemplemusic.com/2013/02/willingly/ Schoenberg, Gurrelieder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiC_gudbtvc
