Composers In Quarantine Drinking Cocktails Episode 4: Sara McDonald (NYChill)

Composers are used to being "trapped" at their desks all day long. So, what do they do when a quarantine hits? Well, they drink cocktails and talk about music, of course!

Sara McDonald is a NYC based composer, orchestrator and bandleader. She is the leader of NYChill, a large ensemble featuring big band, string quartet, synthesizers, and vocals. We had a lot of fun talking about her new single out called “Mean,” her approach to songwriting, advice for booking tours as a large ensemble leader, and more.
