Robert and James Freeman have spent their lives as musicians and music educators. They attribute their passion for music and their rewarding careers to the early start their parents - Henry and Florence Knope Freeman - gave them. The brothers have now released a CD featuring works they commissioned to celebrate their parents' legacy, comprised of works composed by Kevin Puts, Gunther Schuller and Andrea Clearfield, and this Saturday (12/19 at 7 pm) on A Tempo, host Rachel Katz will speak with Robert, who served as director of the Eastman School of Music for 24 years, and James, founder of Philadelphia-based Orchestra 2001, about the CD, their parents' careers, and their commitment to new music.
