The Brave New Sound: Recent Episodes

Christian Thomas

Over the past 20 years, music has let its walls down and made itself more accessible. With that accessibility comes new musicians with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and influences that naturally create a new and unique sound. The Brave New Sound seeks out contemporary musicians who have something unique that does not fit in the traditional image of classical music to accomplish two main goals: Offer unique insight to the audience and encourage musicians to pursue music regardless of background.
