Welcome to the National Orchestral Institute and Festival’s podcast series. Throughout this year’s edition of NOI we will be sitting down with visiting artists, administrators, composers, and participants in the festival for brief question and answer sessions to get their take on the state of music in 2016.

In the second part of my conversation with Sam Adams, we turned from his work "Drift and Providence" to more general discussion about music.

For more about Adams, see his website: www.samuelcarladams.com/
