Eva Kestner interview | Listen and Celebrate KS3
Eva Kestner is a Taiko drummer and composer whose song 'Hitotsu Uta - Let's Make The Planet A Better Place' is featured in our book Listen and Celebrate. I had the pleasure of having a conversation with her about her life, the song 'Let's Make The Planet A Better Place' and some advice for young composers.
Listen and Celebrate KS3 is now available from the Collins website, Amazon and other retailers.
I think conversations like this can motivate more people to explore cultural music traditions while also expressing their own ideas. The title of the song immediately caught my attention, and I can imagine how powerful the Taiko drumming sounds alongside its uplifting theme. Even while playing games like Ragdoll Hit in my free time, I still appreciate artists who use music to encourage kindness, creativity, and global connection.
