Episode 1: “The Florida Suite” (Jan. 21)
Frederick Delius may be a composer whose name you know. Or maybe he’s a composer whose name you don’t know. Either way, what you should know is that this Englishman’s music has a connection to American slavery. Garrett McQueen highlights this connection and more in The Sound of 13.
