Lasting just under an hour, the interview ranges widely, from how classical music transcends genre ('genres are always efficient. Any kind of stereotype has a little bit of truth to it. But as you know, from anything that we do…the deeper you go, you realize, actually, that's for the birds, right?') to immigrating to the US ('Once I became an immigrant and a citizen, I had to ask myself as I was thinking, what is American music?
