Meet the Composer with Nadia Sirota

Radiolab host Jad Abumrad calls the show "compelling and beautifully produced. One of the best things I've heard in a long time."

At the convergence of interview, music, and sound design, Meet the Composer aims to show the listener who the composer is as a person, as a thinker, and as an artist. The listener, in turn, gets way more context for new work than is provided by your average program note, CD liner or digital booklet, and hopefully an engaging entry point into the world of New Music.

The show is hosted by the critically-acclaimed violist and Q2 Music contributor Nadia Sirota, who knows these music makers intimately and has performed their work extensively. Hailed by The New York Times as “a bold new-music interpreter” and Pitchfork as "a one-woman contemporary-classical commissioning machine," Sirota serves as both a bridge between artist and audience and as an advocate for the lively personalities within the new music scene.
