Guest: Clemency Burton-Hill, Creative Director, Music & Arts, New York Public Radio, author of “Year of Wonder” A living, breathing, diverse, vibrant and global art form. That’s how New York Public Radio’s Clemency Burton-Hill describes classical music. It’s not “a creaky old museum of dead white European” men, she insists. And her new book aims to prove it –A Year of Wonder is a “sonic field guide” through the year. One song for each day, along with some fun insight into the piece.
