What is Radio Radiance?
YPC's new radio and internet program, Radio Radiance™, an NEA-funded project in collaboration with WNYC New York Public Radio and American Public Media (APM), made its broadcast premiere this year with four episodes which aired on APM's "Performance Today." Each program featured a performance by YPC and for the first time, interviews with the featured composers.

Radio Radiance™ expands the influence of YPC’s Transient Glory commissioning series by combining live performance, recording and digital media to attract new listeners to new and innovative choral music.  It also introduces our award-winning music education program into classrooms across the nation. YPC recorded new music by Eve Beglarian, Gabriela Lena Frank, Robert Kapilow with sound artist Fred Newman, and Meredith Monk at WNYC’s new Jerome L. Greene Performance Center.  As a major component of the project, student and teacher listening guides accompany the performances and are available to be downloaded.

The next phase of Radio Radiance™ brings the program to a city near you!  YPC is partnering with choruses, schools and public radio stations across the country to share these exciting works with new audiences.
