Local Talk: Aruan Ortiz

Episode 1

Thanks for checking out our inaugural episode of Local Talk, a weekly series of conversations, lectures, and interviews with islanders or about topics relevant to Peaks Island.

Our first conversation is with Aruan Ortiz, a composer, jazz pianist, and educator who lives in Brooklyn, NY but spends parts of his summers on Peaks Island – for twelve years now!

We had a terrific and wide-ranging conversation that featured his creative process, some of Aruan’s music, and a discussion of whether being a specialist or generalist is the right approach to life and work.
