Saturday, January 20th at 2:00 PM EDT (UTC-5) Composer’s Voice features 
Linda Chatterton and Matthew McCright presenting the works of Jay 
Anthony Gach and Ulf Grahn.   This episode interviews Linda Chatterton 
and Matthew McCright and features their performances of “La Leggerezza 
della Musica” by composer Jay Anthony Gach and “Magnolias in Snow” by 
Ulf Grahn. Jay Anthony Gach speaks about his career in new music and the 
lightness of music.

“The kind of performance that sparks wild standing ovations. Definitive” 
says the American Record Guide of flutist Linda Chatterton. A 
Minneapolis-based artist, Ms. Chatterton has performed in New York at 
Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, was a featured recitalist on the 
prestigious Dame Myra Hess series in Chicago, and has been heard 
throughout the US many times on National Public Radio’s Performance 
Today.  She is the first and only two-time flutist to win a McKnight 
Artist Fellowship for Musicians, and she has received many awards from 
the Jerome Foundation, the Minnesota State Arts Board, Chamber Music 
America and the American Composers Forum.

American pianist Matthew McCright has performed extensively throughout 
the United States, Europe, Asia, and the South Pacific and on such 
prestigious stages as Carnegie Hall, Merkin Hall, St. 
Martin-in-the-Fields, and Ireland’s National Concert Hall. He has 
thrilled audiences and critics alike with imaginative programming that 
places the greatest piano repertoire alongside the music of today’s most 
innovative composers. A native of Pennsylvania, McCright now resides in 
Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is a member of the piano faculty of Carleton 
College.

Jay Anthony Gach’s instrumental concert music has been critically 
acclaimed as "witty, virtuosic and accessible", "so exuberant [and] so 
characterful", "a natural crowd pleaser", "vibrant textures", 
"multi-layered, whirling and propulsive". Summarized by the composer 
Lukas Foss during his tenure as conductor of the Brooklyn Philharmonic, 
"his writing for orchestra is brilliant beyond words". Mr. Gach's 
compositions for the voice have been aptly characterized with the simple 
phrase, "such beautiful music". The composer Hugo Weisgall wrote of him, 
"a composer... of extraordinary technical command and intellectual grasp 
of what music is all about".
