2-4-23 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center / ”Happy 86th Birthday, Philip Glass!”

Greetings!

Phase One of today's program highlights a number of new releases, concluding with the emotional, "Journey’s End," Neil Rolnick's reflection on the battle with cancer experienced by the his wife of 45 years, Wendy. The piece was commissioned and performed by Kathleen Supové who, as a personal friend of the couple, witnessed Wendy’s heroic fight with the disease and Rolnick’s role in caring for her throughout her illness. 

In Phase Two, we celebrate the 86th revolution around the sun of Philip Glass, featuring some lesser known pieces.

Enjoy!

Joel
