Podcast THE TALKING CURE: Conversations with Jedediah Wheeler

Augusta Read Thomas, composer of The Auditions, commissioned by Montclair State University and Peak Performances talks about her collaboration with choreographer, Troy Schumacher for the Martha Graham Dance Company.

This new work has been designed to resonate with Graham’s classic, Appalachian Spring, which turns 75 this year. “America’s foremost new-music group” (Alex Ross), the International Contemporary Ensemble joins the Graham Company for these world-class renditions of new music by Thomas and the original Pulitzer Prize–winning score for Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copland.
