Interview with Svitlana Azarova
February 28, 2011
Svitlana Azarova is a Ukrainian/Dutch composer. For information about her work, visit www.azarova.com.
Tibbetts: How long have you composed, and what made you decide to become a composer?
Azarova: As long as I remember I wanted to compose music and did--I felt and feel it is my mission in life. I graduated the conservatory as a composer in 2000.
Tibbetts: What inspires you?
Azarova: Most things: books, works of art, music I hear, people I meet, dreams.
Tibbetts: Of all you have done, what do you consider your best work, and why?
Azarova: I cannot choose one piece.
Tibbetts: What is your 'typical day' like?
Azarova: I get up at 6am, have a light breakfast, after I have a coffee while I read my emails. At 7 I can start work--I have a large dining table where I can spread out my current composition. During the day I might take a walk to clear my head. I do not work after 6pm.
Tibbetts: Do you have any words of wisdom to offer to aspiring composers and musicians?
Azarova: Believe in your own star.
