Mark MulcahyBrand New Heaven
60 minutes of Brand New Heaven. That's how one reviewer described the voice of Mark Mulchay. A former member of the band Miracle Legion, Mulcahy has gone on to a solo career that's included everything from writing music for TV shows to music for cartoon operas. He has a new record called In Pursuit of Your Happiness and he'll be in today to perform live in the studio.
And a tribute to Gertrude Stein: A Gertrude Stein Musical Trilogy is a performance of three short American operas exploring Stein's genius and vision. In addition to two operas with texts by Stein herself— Ned Rorem's Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters and Virgil Thomson's Capital Capitals — the Trilogy features the world premiere of Gertrude Stein Invents A Jump Early On, a new jazz-influenced opera. We'll hear from the composer and librettist.
