Weekend of June 16, 2012
Happy Father's Day
In honor of the Father's Day holiday this weekend, we'll meet Canadian composer Robert Rival. Rival says his new piece, "Lullaby," was inspired by the experience of rocking his son to sleep. The Edmonton Symphony plays Robert Rival's "Lullaby," from a concert last month at Carnegie Hall in New York.
