12-14-24 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!

One of the joys of hosting PTE over the past 35 years is the opportunity to present multiple genres over a two hour period and make the flow, or non-flow, of the program interesting.  This week we have creative improv, brushing on both jazz and classical realms. Then we move one to contemporary composition, electroacoustics & experimental ambient.  And that's only in Phase One...

Enjoy!

Joel
