May 31st marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Walt Whitman. We’ll celebrate this most influential of American poets all month long with music inspired by his verse, including choral works, orchestral pieces, and songs, from an array of international composers. Tune in this week for an all-American program, featuring selections by Roy Harris, Frederick Converse, and Pulitzer Prize-winner George Walker. Sing the body electric, this Sunday at 10 pm.
