Recipient on NPR
Geneseo-based composer, teaching artist and art$TART
recipient Glenn McClure will be interviewed
on Saturday, May 20 on National Public
Radio’s Weekend
Edition about his new composition,
The
Starry Messenger. The oratorio is based on Dava Sobel’s award-winning
book, Galileo’s
Daughter, and explores the life
and struggles of
famed astronomer Galileo Galilei as
seen through letters written to him
by his daughter Suor Maria Celeste.
The story includes interviews
with Glenn McClure and Dava Sobel
as well as music samples from a Starry Messenger rehearsal. You can hear the program in the Syracuse area on WRVO (89.9)
from 5 – 6 pm.
We’ll have a link to the interview
on our website after it airs in case
you miss it.
The oratorio
will also receive its world-premiere
performances in Rochester on May 20 and Geneseo on May 21. For more information, you can check Glenn’s
website at http://www.artforbrains.com/
.
Glenn used his work on Galileo
as the basis for an art$TART
project with Math 12 students
at Hamilton HS and a SAP project
with Mt.
Morris Middle School.
