The Reeds of Notre Dame – interview with international musicians playing in Finland

How did three musicians from the US and UK end up in Finland to play in the country’s first-ever production of Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame? We chat with the musicians about getting accustomed to a foreign culture and to working in Finland – and also about working with the original La Jolla production of Hunchback. This interview is in English. The interview is hosted by Laura Haajanen and Siiri Liitiä. Guests: Ryan Claus, Michael Ford, Terry Halvorson and Martin Segerstråle. This interview features excerpts from songs “Olim” and “Esmeralda” from Tampereen Teatteri’s production of Notre Damen kellonsoittaja / The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This interview is sponsored by Vaasan kaupunginteatteri.
