Whether standing center stage under the spotlights or sitting just across a table while chatting over coffee, Eric Owens only has to utter a few lines to have his audience completely entranced. The warm rumble of his speaking voice hints at the powerful bass baritone he unleashes on stage, often in the service of contemporary composers such as John Adams, Elliot Goldenthal, and Michael Daugherty.

CoverShot: Maria Schneider—Navigating Comfort Zones
Maria Schneider
Maria Schneider is an exemplary role model for composers who want to have their cake and eat it too. She has made a career of creating extremely beautiful music that appeals to audiences on first listen. But this music is also full of beneath-the-surface complexities which reward repeated encounters.
Tune in to Counterstream Radio at 3 p.m. ET every Tuesday during the month of November to listen to clips from her recent NewMusicBox interview alongside entire works from her catalog.
