Vermont composer Gwyneth Walker has composed more than 170
pieces for chorus, orchestra, band and chamber groups. One of Vermont composer Gwyneth Walker’s most recent
works is a cantata based on Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s book, A Gift from the
Sea for the Bella Voce Women’s Chorus. We visited Walker at her Braintree home this week to find out more about the music and
the inspiration for Lessons from the Sea.
Vermont’s own Gwyneth Walker is in the VPR Classical spotlight Friday, October 12! This year she celebrates her 60th birthday, and VPR Classical joins Chandler Music Hall in Randolph in honoring the occasion. Chandler has two special music events this coming weekend (Oct. 13th and 14th). VPR Classical celebrates by featuring several of Walkers recordings throughout the day. Listen for music by Walker at 8 a.m., 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
