Phil Lesh and Elliott Carter

Counterstream Radio Anniversary Special Event: Elliott Carter and Phil Lesh

Curious how Elliott Carter, one of our most venerable composers of music for the concert hall, and Phil Lesh, best known as the bass player for the Grateful Dead, ever crossed paths? Though you might not ordinarily connect these two composers, there are some surprising musical links between them, supported by a friendship of many years.

Tune in to Counterstream Radio on March 14 at 3 p.m. ET and hear them speak with host Sarah Cahill about their shared influences and the personal connections they’ve made through music.
