Breaking Free - Max Reinhardt

Max Reinhardt focuses on the work of composer Anton Webern. Plus music from radical, young composers inspired by Webern, and Ayanna Witter-Johnson, Joni Haastrup and James Massiah.

Breaking Free - the minds that changed music. Welcome to the first Late Junction of 2017, hosted by Max Reinhardt, focusing on the work of Austrian composer Anton Webern.

Yes, the New Year on Late Junction begins with a man who explored new dimensions of musical expression. Webern, with Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg, was a principal composer of the Second Viennese School, best known for breaking with tonality and creating serial composition.

Also, hear work from composers and rockstars inspired by Webern's work, including Howard Skempton, Pauline Oliveros, Anders Dahl, and Frank Zappa. Plus tracks from Ayanna Witter-Johnson, Joni Haastrup, and James Massiah.

Produced by Jack Howson for Reduced Listening.
