This week on Extra Eclectic, we hear from Syrian composer Malek Jandali, whose work integrates Middle Eastern and Arabic melodies into the structures of Western classical music. He also founded the nonprofit organization Pianos for Peace, which aims to build peace through music and education. Listen with host Steve Seel as he showcases Jandali's Violin Concerto, played by Rachel Barton Pine, in addition to works by Missy Mazzoli, Reinaldo Moya, Sarah Kirkland Snider and others.
