Festival Showcase - July 28, 2015 - Christopher Theofanidis, pianist Joyce Yang, Cantor Rollin

  Chris Mohr interviews composer Christopher Theofanidis, pianist Joyce Yang and Cantor Rollin Simmons.

Classical music reporter Chris Mohr has loved classical music since he was twelve. “And I owe it all to radio,” Chris explains. “I grew up in a farm town east of Cleveland. One day I turned on the local classical radio station. They were playing Vivaldi, and it was like the gates of heaven opened up to me!" Chris is also a composer, and is working on a 53-note-to-the-octave oratorio, "Melodies of the Shoreless Sea." This is his ninth summer working for Aspen Public Radio.
