Today we start with two movements from the premiere of Sung Jin Hong's Breaking Bad - Ozymandias, his opera based on the popular tv drama and Shelley's famous poem about hubris. Sung Jin Hong is a composer and the conductor and music director of One World Symphony; an orchestra based in New York City which is gaining a reputation for its unorthodox programming. They have an upcoming CD which features all live recordings including these two movements from the opera recorded at its sold out 2014 premiere.

Hmmm, without any conscious effort, most of the music so far on today's show is coming from composers and musicians in New York City. New Yorkers are spoiled musically!
