Keyboardist Kathleen Supové is known for breaking boundaries

This month, host Seth Bostead introduces listeners to keyboardist Kathleen Supové who is known for breaking boundaries. 10/21.

10/7      In the Field: Palermo We go In the Field to the rustic town of Palermo Itay for the International Rostrum of Composers where we heard a stunning array of new music by three generations of creative artists from around the world.
10/14    Sonata Form Redux  Sonata form is one of the oldest compositional structures in classical music but it's being rediscovered, and in many cases repurposed, by contemporary composers. What is the lasting appeal? We'll play music by four composers looking to the past for formal inspiration.
10/21    Modern Piano Virtuoso Kathleen Supové  One of America’s most acclaimed and versatile contemporary music pianists, performance artist and keyboardist Kathleen Supové is known for breaking boundaries between audience and performer and for her multimedia performances as the “Exploding Piano.”
10/28    Baltimore Symphony’s New Music Festival  The always- inspiring Marin Alsop has just begun perhaps her most ambitious initiative yet, a contemporary music festival in conjunction with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra where she is principal conductor. We'll put you to the front row at this daring new series.
