Description: Stewart Copeland rose to international renown for his work as a drummer for the innovative rock band, the Police. Beyond his work as a rock drummer, Copeland has also forged a successful career as a composer, creating music for films, television and the stage. He also recently won a Grammy for Best New Age Album for his work with composer Ricky Kej on the album Divine Tides. Ahead of a visit to the Twin Cities on May 7 and 8 for a couple of events with VocalEssence, Copeland connected with The Current’s Jill Riley for a talk about his career as a composer, his friendship with the late Taylor Hawkins, and about John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the inspiration for Copeland’s work Satan’s Fall, which VocalEssence will perform on May 8. Watch Jill’s interview with Copeland in the video player above.
