&lt;p&gt;&lt;br class="Apple-interchange-newline"&gt;For today’s Bonus Track, we’re thrilled to bring you the world-premiere recording of Bryce Dessner’s &lt;em&gt;Wires&lt;/em&gt;, performed by Ensemble Intercontemporain!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last week, we dug into a &lt;a href="http://www.wqxr.org/story/new-music-fight-club/"&gt;particularly contentious moment&lt;/a&gt; in classical music’s history.&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;This week, however, we’re looking at where we are NOW, a place of, well… niceness. &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;p class="m_-817632951429731313gmail-p1"&gt;“I think right now is a really good time to be a composer,” says composer John Adams. “And I tell young composers that. They don't believe me, but they don't know how difficult it was back when I was in my 20s and 30s.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p class="m_-817632951429731313gmail-p2"&gt;We'll hear how David Lang’s group &lt;em&gt;Bang on a Can&lt;/em&gt; helped to shape a newfound culture of support and generosity, and how the next generation of composers - including Bryce Dessner - can find creative freedom in this new landscape. &lt;span&gt;Finally, we hear from Bryce what it’s like to write for “the Rolls Royce … of New Music,” with his new piece, &lt;em&gt;Wires&lt;/em&gt;, for Ensemble Intercontemporian, led by Matthias Pintscher.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="m_-817632951429731313gmail-p2"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bryce Dessner's &lt;/em&gt;Wires&lt;em&gt; is provided courtesy of Chester Music, part of the Music Sales Group, Ensemble Intercontemportain and SPEDIDAM (Société de Perception et de Répartition des Droits des Artistes-Interprètes.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
