Glenn McClure with Brenda Tremblay, two days before the composer left Western New York for an epic trip

Composer Glenn McClure is on a journey to Antarctica.   The SUNY Geneseo and Eastman professor will pitch a tent on an ice shelf and listen, working with scientists to collect data which will ultimately shape a piece of music.  His trip is being funded by the National Science Foundation.  Before he left, he spoke with WXXI's Brenda Tremblay.

Brenda Tremblay has served as weekday morning host on WXXI Classical since 2009.
