"Uncomplicated Classics" with Moira Bren and Sarah Hagen

In this week’s episode, we’re throwing it back to the classics! Host Chris Batstone sits down to chat with two recent ECMA Award nominees, singer/songwriter Moira Bren (NS) and classical pianist Sarah Hagen (PEI). We explore Bren’s rise as a musician, which began with covering songs on Instagram using simply her voice and ukulele, to recording her debut EP in her parent’s bedroom, all the way to Hagen’s well-established career, accrediting the piano as its own force, and what was most memorable while playing at Carnegie Hall (twice). Chris takes a deeper look into a “no frills”, uncomplicated classic music style.
