John Nelson radio interviews

I’m finally getting around to posting a few radio interviews with conductor John Nelson that took place last fall. SDG fans may find these of interest. In the first interview, a conversation with Greg Wheatley of Moody Radio, Maestro Nelson remarks on SDG in general and discusses the situation with sacred music in China. The second interview was conducted by Carl Grapentine of WFMT and focuses on SDG’s commission project with composer Peter Bannister - the outcome of which was a new oratorio titled Et iterum venturus est (from the Nicene Creed, meaning “And he shall come again”). My thanks to Moody Radio and WFMT for allowing me to post these conversations.
