American composers are creating new works for our times!
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
We’ll hear a diverse assortment of new works from American composers.
Eclectic accordian player Guy Klucevsek has a new album out, and we’ll have a chance to listen in. The American Opera Projects’ Family Opera Initiative has commissioned a new comic opera called Fireworks. Composer Kitty Brazelton and lyricist Billy Aronson stop by to tell us about the work. And cellist Maya Beiser was very busy at the Meet the Composers marathon a few weeks ago. She premiered several works and performed others written for her in the past. She brings us a recording of one of those premieres, composed by Osvaldo Golijov.
