Composer Chris Rogerson takes a bow along with Michael Stern and the Kansas City Symphony following the world premiere of Rogerson's piece 'It Became Dark' - March 2018

This week, co-hosts Michael Stern and Dan Margolies walk listeners through a program that invokes darkness, the supernatural and the other-worldly. We'll also hear what Halloween was like for a young Michael Stern, and feature a few tricks and treats along the way.

An agreement with the Kansas City Symphony allows us to share audio for this program up to four weeks after the program's original air date. You can listen to currently available episodes here.
