5-2-26 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!

The agenda for Phase One includes new releases and a couple current acquisitions of my own. In Phase Two, we honor the memory & music of just intonation composer Michael Harrison, followed Viet Cuong's imaginative composition, "Re(new)al", a percussion quartet concerto which address the topic of renewable energy. I recently had the privilege of seeing the Columbia Symphony perform this piece here in my hometown of Columbia, MD.

Listen & Enjoy!
