In this episode of Musical Minds and Missions (M³), host Sarah Cahill sits down with acclaimed cellist, composer, and curator Paul Wiancko to explore the artistic vision behind the Spoleto Festival USA chamber music series—and the newly released Phenotypic live recordings that capture its spirit.
Wiancko shares how he blends centuries of music—from Purcell to world premieres—into a living, breathing conversation that connects past and present. The discussion dives into his philosophy of curation, the emotional power of live performance, and the idea that all music—old or new—is part of the same evolving story.
Along the way, Wiancko reflects on his unconventional path into composition, the influence of Chick Corea, and the deeper purpose of creating art in today’s world. The result is a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about curiosity, connection, and what it means to truly listen.
