Join us tonight at WNYC as we chat with composer Arlene Sierra. An American currently living in the UK, having recently been appointed Lecturer in Composition at Cardiff University, Sierra explores the interplay between structure and atmosphere in her works. She has been commissioned by the Tanglewood Music Festival, among many others, and her works have been performed by some of the world's foremost orchestras, chamber ensembles and soloists. Sierra's ongoing collaboration with the Anita Cheng Dance Company of New York has also led to performances with many other dance companies. We'll talk to Sierra about her creative process, inspirations, and upcoming performances.
Also tonight, we'll hear the Mozart Violin Sonata in A, part of Anne-Sophie Mutter's complete Mozart violin works recording series. In addition, we'll hear less familiar works by Zoltan Kodaly and Rodion Shchedrin.
