Episode 10: Barry Banks - Part 2

In part 2 of the conversation with opera star, Barry Banks, he talks openly about the issues that all performers and artists deal with: confidence, nerves, the dedication it takes to be a musician, and how important it is for him to have a life outside of singing. He talks about the balance that he has struggled to achieve in his life and how he's learned how to not be too effected when things do not go as perfectly as he would like in a performance.

Barry and Marie compare notes and discuss music from the different perspectives of a singer and an instrumentalist. They talk about the barriers between singers and instrumentalists and how Barry has learned to approach colleagues, instrumentalists and conductors alike.
