Composer Robert Kritz spent many years working in the corporate world   by day and busily composing music into the wee hours of the night. A   decision several years ago to show some of his pieces to professional   composers was the occasion of great excitement and led to a flurry of   public performances and commissions.

We\u2019ll talk with Kritz about his  unusual career path as a composer  and feature live performances of  several of his pieces by the musicians  who support his work.
