This Week's Broadcasts

On this special edition of State of the Arts we look back at some of the most intriguing and unusual classical music features we’ve done over the past ten years.


Julia Wolff’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Anthracite Fields is performed in an abandoned Roebling steel factory in Trenton. Musicologist Anthony Sheppard makes a discovery about one of the world’s most famous operas, Madama Butterfly, at the Guinness Collection of Mechanical Musical Instruments at the Morris Museum.


Plus, the New Jersey Symphony performs an overture about Washington crossing the Delaware, composed by Trenton’s "Bad Boy" of music, George Antheil. And, the Princeton Symphony and the Juilliard Jazz Ensemble’s performance of Derek Bermel’s Migration Series Concerto in honor of the Emancipation Proclamation.
