Today would have been the 100th birthday of the most important English composer of the 20th century, Benjamin Britten. Today at 3 pm, Joe Goetz is joined by Richard Riley, director of the Burlington Choral Society, to discuss Britten's music and legacy. We will also get a preview of the Society's concert of Britten's music this weekend.
