137 - Transcendence and Longing
from The Commentary Hosted by Laurie Bertrand
In this episode, Mark talks to Maestro Delta David Gier, music director of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra, about the lessons in transcendence and longing we can learn from artistic “God-seekers” like the composer Gustav Mahler. Particularly in our increasingly isolated and tech-mediated culture, art like this has the power to summon us to contemplate the higher things.
