Philadelphia-based composer, David Ludwig talks about his music and what inspires his work.  Included are samples from recent compositions.

David Ludwig is “a composer with something urgent to say” (Philadelphia Inquirer) whose music has been described as “arresting and dramatically hued” (The New York Times) and “supercharged with electrical energy and raw emotion” (Fanfare Magazine).  Among his recent honors, Ludwig’s choral work, “The New Colossus” was selected as the opening music for the private prayer service for the second inauguration of President Obama.  NPR Music recently selected him as one of the “Top 100 Composers Under Forty” in the world."
