Turning Inward to Heart and Breath
Richard Reed Parry's not a household name in classical composition, though you've likely heard his music through his involvement with the indie rock super group Arcade Fire. He's making a big debut as a composer though with his Deutsche Grammophon release Music for Heart and Breath. As Nico Muhly explains, "It's a simple idea but with very complicated potential results. It's music based on a system that can produce a huge range of problems and beautiful solutions." Hear music from the new release on Tuesday's program.
