#2920: What's New With Joby Talbot?

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

English composer Joby Talbot joins John Schaefer for this New Sounds program to present excerpts from recent scores for the opera stage, dance, film, and television. Talbot contributed the playful score to the coming-of-age film, "Son of Rambow." We'll hear music from that film score, and take a sneak peek at an opera-in-progress, "Coma," from which Talbot performs a piano reduction - "Hospital."
