The wonderful American composer George Walker turns 96 today. And he’s still very much at work, with a symphonic world premiere coming up in the new Seattle Symphony season: Sinfonia No. 5, in which he reflects on the massacre at a Charleston church in 2015.
The clip above is from a 2012 interview, just before George Walker reached the age of 90.
Happy Birthday, George!
