In this extended podcast, we explore the TSO's upcoming Brahms v. Radiohead concert – which mashes up Brahms's Symphony No. 1 with songs from Radiohead's iconic album OK Computer. The brainchild of conductor, composer, performer and all-around musical visionary Steve Hackman, this multi-media presentation both defies classical crossover stereotypes while providing a gateway to enjoy and appreciate both "sides of the aisle," as it were. Also, we play a game of "Who Would Win?" 90's style (1890s v. 1990s, that is!).
