Music Composition
 | When we hear an orchestra play, we may immediately think about so-called 'classical' music, composed hundreds of years ago by people it's hard to relate to today. But new orchestral music is being composed all the time, by people all over the world - and right here in our own community. Join us this Wednesday when we look at modern composition, how different composers approach the art, and how and where to hear their works. |
