Renowned American composer Michael Torke, who has produced pieces for the Atlanta Olympic games, Disney, and penned numerous operas, is premiering a new work with the Philadelphia Orchestra at Saratoga Performing Arts Center this summer.
Torke is now in the first stages of forming the piece to coincide with SPAC's 50th Anniversary. In the first part of a new WAMC series focusing on the creation of a work of music, WAMC's Lucas Willard spoke with Torke, who walked us through the beginnings of his creative process.
