A “Melody Faucet:” Michael Kurth, Composer

Michael Kurth is Composer-in Residence for the Riverside Chamber Players, as well as a section bassist for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Lois Reitzes recently sat down with Kurth to talk about his writing process, and the story behind his “Mean Old Pony Tango.”

The Riverside Chamber Players perform Sunday, September 21 at Roswell United Methodist Church. The program includes Kurth’s “signature piece” as well as Paul Salerni’s string quartet arrangement of Mendelssohn’s “Song Without Words.”
