In this premiere episode, Amy Scurria, Anna Linvill, and Tarik Ghiradella find humor, wit, deep intelligence, and a deeply down-to-earth rarity in Steven Bryant. With music chiseled in its structure and intent, fusing lyricism, dissonance, silence, technology, and humor into lean, skillfully-crafted works, Steven’s music enthralls listeners and performers alike. His seminal work Ecstatic Waters, for wind ensemble and electronics, has become one of the most performed works of its kind in the world, receiving over 250 performances in its first five seasons.
