Pianist and composer Joachim Horsley joins One Symphony host Devin Patrick Hughes to explore rhythm, genre, and reimagining classical music through Afro-Caribbean traditions. Horsley discusses his album Afro Bach, the influence of Cuban music, and why rhythm—not genre—is the true carrier of musical meaning.
The conversation touches on Bach and Beethoven reinterpretations, film scoring, orchestral rhythm, and the role of travel and creative constraint in artistic growth.
