This Tuesday from 8-10 pm EDT we have a particularly special edition of Contemporary Classics. We have a “Composer Conversation” with Canadian composer Eliot Britton. We will explore Eliot’s development as a composer and his work “Metatron”. “Metatron” is a brilliant work that takes us through the musical history of the 20thand 21stcenturies in an interesting way. In addition we open this episode with a recording of the world premiere of “Music for Trains”. This is an electro-acoustic work by a group of faculty and students from the Desautels Faculty of Music of the University of Manitoba, which was commissioned by the Winnipeg New Music Festival and performed in the rotunda of the Union Station in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. And we talk with each of the composers involved in this work. This is not to be missed.
