Daring to Compose
Today we'll feature part two of music and conversation with composer Philip Glass, from a live event in New York. Host Fred Child asks Glass to describe what the experience of composing is about. Glass responds with one word, "fear," and talks about the audacity of composing, given the rich history of music that's come before him. The Glass Chamber Players and Trio Solisti perform music by Glass and Ravel.
