Folk Classics Across the Globe from YourClassical
In this program, we explore classical pieces inspired by folk music from composers and cultures that have often existed on the fringes of the classical canon. You’ll hear three world premieres of folk music recorded live in the Maud Moon Weyerhaeuser Studio at Minnesota Public Radio’s headquarters in St. Paul. The pieces have been recorded by five guest musicians from those cultures who will tell us more about the music in the program.
Encore from May 2024
