Featured video April 2012 - James Ledger (WASO)
In 2012 Art Music
Awards, the Performance of the Year was awarded to the West
Australian Symphony Orchestra for its performance of James
Ledger's
Two Memorials (for Anton Webern and John Lennon).
Ledger also received a special state award for this work (West
Australia - Orchestral Work of the Year).
In this video, recorded at a 'meet the artist' session in front
of a live audience, James Ledger talks about his work. The
interviewer is the WASO's executive director of artistic
planning, Evan Kennea, and the talk took place after the world
premiere of the work in Perth on 25 November 2011.
