The grand old maverick of American music, composer Lou Harrison, died Sunday evening while traveling to a festival of his music at Ohio State University. OSU and the Columbus Symphony will still co-present a major retrospective of Harrison's career from 6–9 February featuring performances of his compositions and works by composers who influenced him. This special installment of New Sounds takes a retrospective look at Harrison's works and career, with performances by contemporary-music ensemble Pulse, guitarist John Schneider, and the composer himself.
