This is an historical archive for streaming the original MN Composers Gallery Radio Programs so you may listen to the guest composers and their music. This website also includes the Radio broadcast shows of the first West Banks School of Music Jazz Composers Series 1985 which I also engineered and produced for KFAI FM Community Radio.
Eventually more details on music, performers, air dates etc.. will be added over time. I've also or soon will include some tapes that are in a raw unedited form; such as prerecorded interviews and other such source materials. Sometimes that is all I have left of the program that might not of been recorded when aired. The composer's consistent astute discourse, as well as their excellent music is why these programs are archived here for your listening pleasure.
