(with 457,048 monthly listeners on Spotify...)
Welcome to Season 1, Episode 3 of Pivot! the podcast, where today’s guest is the inspirational Grace Davidson. In this episode Grace and I explore her remarkable career in both classical and film music.
From her childhood experiences in church choirs and as a violinist to her pivotal decision to pursue a career in singing, Grace shares her story of resilience, self-discovery, and finding her unique path in the unique – and at times bewildering – music industry. Grace is so honest in our time together, delving into the challenges she faced, the importance of vocal health, and the shifting landscape of the classical music industry.
Grace is joy in human form, and I hope you love this episode as much as I loved recording it with her.
Some of the specifics we discuss:
The Sixteen (a world-leading choral ensemble)
Tenebrae (another world-leading choral ensemble)
A consort: one or two singers per part of choral music
Baroque music: technically from 1600-1750, but the most well-known music is written by Bach and Handel.
