CBC Radio commissions a wide variety of music for our programs. Here are some examples of recent commissions.
Young Canadian opera composer Dean Burry was asked to envision an episodic telling of the story of Baby Kintyre , the mummified infant discovered by a construction crew in the attic of a Toronto home in 2007.
You'll be able to hear an episode of the opera each week on CBC Radio 2's Saturday Afternoon at the Opera beginning Saturday 7 Nov, 2009. A new episode will be posted here each week so be sure to check back.
