KUAF Sunday Symphony for Jan. 24, 2016: Ives's Genius

Though he was also a fine athlete and shrewd businessman, today Charles Ives is remembered as a Pulitzer prize-winning composer. His music was largely inspired by the ideas of his father, a Civil War band leader who approached tonality with an experimental mindset and encouraged his son to do the same. Hear Charles Ives’s 3^rd and 4^th symphonies and more this week on the KUAF Sunday Symphony.
