We live in a charged political environment and though music is often  seen as an escape, many composers have chosen to use their work to make a  statement.

\\n

From Ted Hearne\\u2019s The Source, based on the story of Chelsea  Manning, the US Army Private who infamously leaked classified military  documents to WikiLeaks in 2010 to David T. Little\\u2019s operas about modern  warfare to Bright Sheng\\u2019s music about the Cultural Revolution, we  feature several composers who are speaking out.
