Have you ever seen someone crawl through a radio?
The Radio Hour - the new collaboration between composer Jake Heggie, one of the world’s most prominent current composers of dramatic vocal music, and librettist Gene Scheer - crosses Alice in Wonderland with the golden age of radio in a magical program about the power of singing to shape and give meaning to our lives. Including a swinging salute to radio legend Fred Waring, “The Man Who Taught America How to Sing.”
