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 IOCSF singer, composer, and -- surprise! -- chemical engineer Sam Maurer about his first choral composition, “Final Notations,” based on the poem by Adrienne Rich.
