Beautiful Music NOW - Libby Larsen's Deep Summer Music

courtesy of the artist

Especially given the extreme weather and storms that have been affecting so many parts of the US, January seems like a good time to reflect on steamy, summer days. Today's Beautiful Music is by Libby Larsen. The Minnesota native composed her DEEP SUMMER MUSIC in 1982, and this performance is from a 2016 concert given by the Minnesota All-State Orchestra. The young musicians were conducted by Douglas Droste.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
