      Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

      Voices from the East

      A single bell rings steadily, creating a calm, meditative mood. Gradually, the strings join in, playing canonic scales that shimmer through the music. This first piece in Voices from the East is 'Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten' by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. Over the week, we’ll explore music by composers from the Baltic states, travel to Chistopol in western Russia, and finish in Georgia. You’ll hear works by Arvo Pärt, Sofia Gubaïdulina, and Giya Kancheli. Come join us on this musical journey!
