Click on Classical: Beds in the concert hall, Horner’s last score, and why we sing

Every Monday morning at 9:15, I visit the Classical MPR studio to talk about stories we're featuring on our website. Here's what Emily Reese and I will be discussing today.

Composer Max Richter has composed a piece that's so long, its premiere will have concertgoers lying on beds instead of sitting in seats. Richter doesn't mind if they fall asleep...in fact, that's exactly what he hopes will happen.
The new boxing movie Southpaw is earning mixed reviews, but one part of the film is winning raves: the score, which was the last to be completed by the late great James Horner.
Last night, the Summer Singers performed at the St. Paul Seminary. As he prepared for the concert, choir member Patrick Coleman shared a moving reflection on the power of song.
