Contemporary Classics is a show featuring concert music exclusively by 20th and 21st Century Composers. Some of this music will be by composers whose names may be unfamiliar to you and some of the music will be by much more recognizable names in contemporary composition. Some of the music may shock you, but I think many of you will be surprise to find out how much music by contemporary composers is immensely enjoyable. The whole purpose of this show is to demonstrate the wide variety of contemporary classical music that is available and to bring my joy of contemporary classical music listening to you.
The show also features monthly interviews with composers in its Composer Conversations segment. We will talk about their career’s, their compositional style and will feature a conversation about one of their works.
Tonight on Contemporary Classics I am chatting with composer Edie Hill and choral conductor Donald Nally of the vocal ensemble The Crossing about their new album Born.
