The GRAMMY Award-winning team of composer Michael Daugherty, conductor David Alan Miller and the Albany Symphony returns with a new album comprising a set of remarkable works exploring associations with flight and space exploration, both tragic and triumphant. In this podcast, the composer explains the context and inspiration behind the three works on the programme: from aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart's mysterious disappearance in 1937, to rock ’n roll legend Buddy Holly's tragic death in a plane crash just hours after his final performance in 1959, and Neil Armstrong's role in the triumphant Apollo 11 moon mission in 1969.
