Grammy-nominated composer Peter Boyer joins Vonn Vanier on Beyond the Notes to share the story of his two most ambitious new works:
- "American Mosaic", commissioned by the Kennedy Center for America’s 250th anniversary, blending Boyer’s music with the imagery of Americana photographer Joe Sohm.
- "A Hundred Years On" is an equal collaboration between Peter Boyer and librettist Mark Campbell for the Mann Center and the Philadelphia Orchestra. It's an oratorio that explores the legacy of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition.
Boyer opens up about the responsibility of writing “American-themed” music, the influence of Copland, Bernstein, and John Williams on his voice, and the challenge of balancing two monumental commissions at once.
