This interview originally aired on the April 7, 2024 edition of Modern Notebook.

Roger Zare is a composer who is a Sarasota native, and coming up April 12-14, the Sarasota Orchestra will be performing a work of his called NEOWISE. 

 

Roger is a composer deeply inspired by science, nature, mathematics, and mythology. In his conversation with Tyler, he talks a lot about science, growing up in Sarasota, and, of course, the piece that the orchestra is playing next weekend.
