Live with Robert Kritz

Composer Robert Kritz spent many years working in the corporate
world   by day and busily composing music into the wee
hours of the night. A   decision several years ago to
show some of his pieces to professional   composers was
the occasion of great excitement and led to a flurry of
  public performances and commissions.


We’ll talk with Kritz about his  unusual career path as a
composer  and feature live performances of  several of
his pieces by the musicians  who support his work.
