In this week’s playlist, we share the recordings of our last Micro Composition Project. Our 2022 composers were Caroline Ahn, with “Earth Song”; Jorge Muñiz, with “Niké”; Eric Salazar, with “Cornfields”; and Jared Thompson, with “Incomplete Thought”.

This week on our New Classical channel we feature the works of South Korean composer, Unsuk Chin. She is a contemporary classical music composer who is currently based in Berlin, Germany. Chin has received many honors, including the 2004 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition for her Violin Concerto. In 2022 she starts a five-year tenure as Artistic Director of the Tongyeong International Festival in South Korea and her Artistic Directorship of the Weiwuying International Music Festival in Taiwan.

This week’s playlist is especially important. We’ll honor the life of  Marianne Williams Tobias who we lost on July 12th. We’ll hear Marianne Tobias as a pianist with The Indianeapolitan Players, and recordings by the ISO with commentary coming straight from Marianne’s program notes.
