James Stephenson

Send us Fan MailThis week Jim Stephenson made the unfortunate choice to join us. We talk about his amazing sports career as a youth, how he had to choose between golf or music, and how everything in his life happens by accident. Phil sputters sentence fragrances, Chris gets distracted often, and Peter asks questions that are so long and winding that no one knew what the question was by the time he stopped yammering. We cover his life as a professional trumpet player, conductor, and of course as a composer. There are many laughs, amazing insights by Jim, and awkward moments by the hosts, including a special appearance by Peter's dog Louie who adds to the podcast with his heavy breathing. Sit back and enjoy another hour you will never get back.Show NotesJames Stephenson WebsiteMusic CreditsShostakovich Symphony 1VALERY GERGIEV - MUSICAL DIRECTOR AND CONDUCTORTHE MARIINSKY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS7 DE ENERO DEL 2013 - JANUARY 7h ,2013 January 7th, 2013TEARTRO SALLE PLEYEL IN PARIShttps://youtu.be/IsnXRsBFxls?si=RZjCVMHck1OAUPuV"The President's Own" United States Marine Band presents James Stephenson’s Symphony No. 2, Voices.
