Composer Mason Bates

It's been called an "electro-acoustic book of songs." Mason Bates calls it a new kind of concerto for a new kind of ensemble. We spoke with composer, dj, curator and advocate for the modern orchestra Mason Bates about the SPAC premiere of "Silicon Hymnal" with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Grammy and Emmy winning trio Time for Three.

Bates Silicon Hymnal

Rob Brown comes from a musical family. His mother played piano and taught in this area for nearly 30 years. One uncle is a composer and brass player, one aunt is a professional accompanist and recitalist. And his grandfather had a record collection to rival WMHT’s. He started at WMHT as an intern in 1996. His first job was to go through the stacks of vinyl to make sure they were filed properly. He’s now the Music Director and is thrilled to continue in the “family business” and share more of our very favorite classical music from 1-4 every weekday and 11-3 on Sundays.
