Wave Farm's WGXC is pleased to present a "Saturday Night Special" broadcast of Experiments in Opera: Radio Operas, six innovative opera miniatures composed by John King, Matthew Welch, Paul Pinto, Aaron Siegel, Jason Cady and Ann Heppermann, and Jonathan Mitchell. Crafted with an "ears only" audience in mind, these works explore "a wide range of stories highlighting the composers’ interests in modern abstraction, science fiction, hallucinations, scientific discoveries, and pop culture icons." The broadcast includes artist introductions, and a panel discussion, presented in collaboration with New York Public Radio’s Q2 Music.

Experiments in Opera is a composer-driven initiative, featuring recent and new works with refreshing answers to the traditional questions of how to connect words, story and music. The organization is in its third season.

This session was recorded for New York Public Radio’s Q2 Music. Q2 Music is an online music station for innovative, vibrant music from living composers." -Reprinted from Q2 Music

Special thanks to Jason Cady, Hannis Brown, and Alex Ambrose for making this broadcast possible.
