On this edition of StudioTulsa, we welcome the Tulsa-based composer, musician, and music teacher Noam Faingold back to our show. He's also the curator for the fifth-annual OK Electric Festival of Electroacoustic Music, which he tells us about. This special event (presented by Living Arts of Tulsa) happens tonight, Thursday the 5th, at Duet Jazz; more info, including how to get tickets, is posted here. The evening will feature the internationally acclaimed cellist Inbal Segev -- as well as such outstanding local musicians as Dave Broome, Annie Ellicott, Nathan Pape, and Kiersten Moser. Faingold also tells us about his orchestral composition, "Defiant Poet: Elegy in Memory of Yevgeny Yevtushenko," which has just appeared on a new CD.
