Radio Radiance™ Composers

Radio Radiance™, YPC's new radio and internet program commissioned new works by four of today’s leading composers.  Radio Radiance™ expands the influence of YPC’s Transient Glory® commissioning series by combining live performance, recording and digital media to attract new listeners to new and innovative choral music.  YPC is recording new music by Paquito d’Rivera, Michael Gordon, Michael Harrison, and Terry Riley.  Past composers have included Eve Beglarian, Gabriela Lena Frank, Robert Kapilow with sound artist Fred Newman, and Meredith Monk.

Radio Radiance™ made its broadcast premiere in 2009 with four episodes which aired on APM's "Performance Today." Each program featured a performance by YPC of these commissioned works and for the first time, interviews with the featured composers.

You can listen to brand new interviews on our Audio page and download the “Performance Today” episodes.
