Contemporary Classics February 10, 2026 Celebration of Steve Mackey's 70th Birthday

Tonight on Contemporary Classics I am talking with composer Steve Mackey whom I have chatted  with on this show before about albums of his.  Tonight we are celebrating his 70th birthday which is this Saturday, February 14th - yes, valentine’s day - with important works across his catalogue  selected by the birthday boy himself.
