Indie Classical: Terrific New Sounds that Cross Musical Boundaries

Morning Edition, the NPR news show, ran a interesting story today on "indie classical" music, a border-crossing blend of classical, jazz and other musical styles that is thriving on small record labels.

To our admittedly untrained ears, these were exciting sounds—fun, innovative and hip.

It was brand new music to us, which is one of the joys of NPR. We listen and learn every day,  discovering amazing and creative people in the arts. That's why we love Tulsa's NPR station, KWGS 89.5.

The NPR music link, with several audio samples, is here.
