Celebration: A Concert honoring Joan Tower

In 1972, Joan Tower joined the composition faculty at Bard College — a relationship that has now spanned 54 years. To celebrate, Bard is hosting a concert of Tower’s music, presented by the Atalena Artists Collective. We spoke with Joan Tower and Atalena’s Artistic Director Alexandra Balog about the program, Saturday, October 3 at 4 at the Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space, on the campus of Bard College.

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.
