Are the 4pm sunsets getting you down? Lighten up with Second Inversion.
On this Saturday’s episode, Lou Harrison’s ballet Solstice illuminates these darker days. He traces the mythic struggle between the sun lion and the moon bull: the long, warm days of summer and the cold darkness of winter. Plus, music inspired by the warmth and nostalgia of summer nights in Middle America—and a bass solo born out of the growling rhythms of a winter solstice in the Far North. Get a jump start on your winter solstice celebrations with Second Inversion!
To listen, tune in to Classical KING on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 9pm PT.
