The Second Nature Of Matthew Aucoin (Rerun)","description":"In our second annual Classical Classroom Summer Music Festival Series, we hit the (sound)waves at the Music Academy of the West in sunny Santa Barbara, California! The third installment of our MAW series features composer, conductor, and pianist, Matthew Aucoin. Aucoin is a resident at that Music Academy of the West, and a sort of serial residentialist elsewhere (like the Peabody Essex Museum and soon, the Los Angeles Opera). He talks about what a \u201cresidency\u201d is, and how it informs a composer\u2019s creative process; plus, he gives us a sample of what he\u2019s been busy creating while at the Music Academy. Music in this episode: Selections from Matthew Aucoin\u2019s Second Nature, performed at the Music Academy of the West Audio production by Todd \u201cThe Bartered Todd\u201d Hulslander with pirouettes by Dacia Clay and assistance from Mark DiClaudio. Thanks to the Music Academy for their help with this series, and special thanks to Kate Oberjat (oh-bur-yacht) without whom this series simply would not. Special thanks to Todd Reynolds for his music, Taskforce: Farmlab from Outerbourough.  ","author_name":"Classical Classroom","author_url":"http:\/\/classicalclassroomshow.com","html":"
