In this episode, I chat with Professor Peter B Child. Professor Child is Professor of Music and a MacVicar Faculty Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A composer whose mentors include William Albright, Arthur Berger, and Jacob Druckman, Professor Child earned his Ph.D. in composition from Brandeis University. His music has received awards and commissions from organizations such as the Fromm Foundation, Tanglewood, the New England Conservatory, and the League/ISCM, and has been recorded on the New World, Albany, CRI, Centaur, and Neuma labels. Recipient of the 2004 Levitan Prize in the Humanities at MIT, Child’s work spans orchestral, chamber, vocal, and cross-genre compositions characterized by their intricate structure and expressive clarity.
