biography: Eric Whitacre - The Inside Voice

Eric Whitacre is perhaps the hottest name in modern choral music. He has conducted choral and instrumental concerts at home and overseas, with such renowned ensembles as the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic, and the Minnesota Orchestra. Whitacre has even collaborated with legendary composer Hans Zimmer and British pop icon Annie Lennox. This is an impressive résumé, especially for someone who, until the age of 20, could not even read music. Hear more about his life and career in this Inside Voice video.
