The Composing Conductor
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Belgian composer Daniel Sternefeld was a promising composer, except he had one problem: he was an even more promising (and successful) conductor. It wasn't until his retirement from conducting in 1971 that he picked up his pen in full force; tonight we'll hear his charming orchestral setting of 16th-century motets, "Song and Dance at the Court of Mary of Burgundy."
