A midweek classical meditation

Extra Eclectic - Jan. 19

Classical music truly has become a global village in the 20th and 21st centuries. This week on Extra Eclectic, host Steve Seel transports us to Asia in the first hour of the program. We'll hear works by composers from Japan and Hong Kong, as well as Stephen Paulus' meditations on the ancient Chinese poet Li Po. In the second hour, it's a tapestry of musical dreams, from John Cage, Ellen Reid, "Blue" Gene Tyranny and Anna Thorvaldsdottir. Listen now!
