Heather Schmidt's 'Lunar Reflections'
Every Friday, Performance Today features 21st century music. This week: "Lunar Reflections" by 35 year-old Canadian composer Heather Schmidt. It's not in five movements, Schmidt says it's in five "moons." From the delicate beauty of a "February Snow Moon" to the clangorous energy of a "July Thunder Moon." We'll hear the world premiere, from a concert in Toronto by the Gryphon Trio.
