An alumni of the renowned Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, American electronic & classical composer Richard Einhorn and host Ale Díaz-Pizarro map out his trajectory as a composer, discuss inspirations ranging from Joan of Arc to Darwin to Dr. Seuss, find the connections between his works, and even ruminate on a possible Cat in the Hat opera…
This interview was carried out in anticipation of the performance of Einhorn’s vocal work, “The Luminous Ground,” on December 3rd as part of a program by the leading chamber choir Musica Viva NY, ahead of its recording on NAXOS and featuring special guest mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade.
