Warren Odess-Gillett interviews Michael Greenlee, a young man who, at the age of 16, went off to college at Simons-Rock to pursue his interests in music and religious studies. As part of his studies, Michael fulfilled his thesis requirement by composing a cantata, which I play the first movement of later in the broadcast.
