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. For more information on IOCSF’s concerts, please visit iocsf.org

Today’s conversation is with composer Kyle Randall about the premiere of his setting of the WB Yeats poem “When You Are Old.”  We chat with Kyle about his journey as a composer, his musical inspirations, and what he’s been up to lately (hint: it involves podcasting!).
