A chat with composer David Lefkowitz

Professor David Lefkowitz teaches composition and music theory at UCLA. We collaborated on a project called "David", which is an oratorio about the life of the biblical King David. We both form part of the Hefner composer group, which did the work and I wanted to share his story and some of his music with you. His music is contemporary classical, which entails an interesting use of dissonance while being melodical too. Kind of a modern post-modern. We took one piece and we stopped it at 2 spots to break down what was happening. It's the first time I do that and I think it worked. I hope you enjoy the podcast.
