      Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

      Orpheus in the New World

      With communications and travel offering cultural exchange like never before, today’s composer draws from an enormous palette, giving voice to the amazing era in which we live. You'll find tonality and melody are most decidedly in style, while originality and diversity reign. From Joseph Schwantner and John Adams to Marc Neikrug and Amy Beach, we'll listen to and celebrate their music.
