Radio Radiance™ was created to maximize the power of radio and internet to bring YPC-commissioned music to major cities and introduce our award-winning music education into classrooms across the nation. YPC has recorded new music by Eve Beglarian, Meredith Monk, Robert Kapilow with sound artist Fred Newman, and Gabriela Lena Frank at WNYC’s new Jerome L. Greene Performance Center.
