Two new symphonies, with a little help from Radiohead, make their debut
It’s not easy for a genre-blurring musician in a genre-focused music industry. When it’s simpler for the music biz to sell its cultural product in neat categories, any music that bridges or blurs those market-described categories often gets left behind.
Graham Reynolds and Peter Stopschinski know that all too well. The pair of genre-defying Austin composers, well-known to arts audiences for their myriad collaborations with theater and dance productions, will debut their respective sixth symphonies on Saturday at Austin Ventures Studio Theater inside Ballet Austin’s downtown headquarters.
