Imagined Roots

Raíces Imaginadas (Imagined Roots) presents four works
written by Tomás Koljatic, Igor Marques, Felipe Pinto d’Aguiar,
and Vicente Atria, performed by the Nuevo Mundo Baroque Orchestra
(Chile). The idea was to frame writing for historical instruments
in contemporary perspectives; its title alludes to this notion
and suggests a music that is speculative, nonexistent, or
historically and hypothetically possible, bound to the past by
its instrumentation and timbre.


Host Seth Boustead talks with the four composers about this
fascinating project and features the music.
