Making Text Matter, Attaining Calf Skin, & Secret Eric Whitacre Stories with Tony Silvestri

Dear Listeners,

We are incredibly excited to share our latest episode featuring Tony Silvestri—poet, author, and one of the most influential choral lyricists of our time.

If you’ve ever been moved by a choral piece like Sleep or Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine, you’ve experienced the power of Tony’s words. In this episode, we dive into his journey from educator to internationally recognized writer, his creative process when crafting texts for composers, and the art of collaboration that brings choral music to life.

Tony also shares insights into his visual art, his favorite and most meaningful projects, and what continues to inspire him after decades of creating.

This is a must-listen for anyone who believes in the power of words and music to move people.
