Music M@A Presents: BMOP's "Lew Spratlan and Friends"

In 1996, Gil Rose set out to remedy a widening disconnect between contemporary audiences and contemporary music. Today the Grammy Award-winning Boston Modern Orchestra Project remains dedicated to its mission and is the leading orchestra for commissioning, performing and recording modern orchestral music. "Chamber Symphony," by Lewis Spratlan, is presented as part of the composer's 80th birthday celebration, a year later. Lew Spratlan taught at Amherst College from 1970 until his retirement in 2006.
