Today’s episode of In Unison continues our mini-series of discussions with composers to be featured on IOCSF’s upcoming concert program, Freshly Squeezed. The performances will take place on December 4th in Berkeley, and December 18th in San Francisco. 

Our conversation today is with San Francisco Conservatory grad and IOCSF alum, Bryan Lin, about his new composition, “It’s just weather,” which sets a text Bryan crafted from the quotes of politicians denying climate change.
