This month BMI features Peter Boyer’s story about his career as a composer, interviewed here by Deirdre Chadwick.
Boyer’s Ellis Island: The Dream of America continues to find new audiences as its message about the essence of what makes America so profoundly unique and great resonates even more today than when it was written in 2002. It has been performed over 200 times by nearly 100 orchestras, and was recently featured on PBS’ Great Performances, with the Pacific Symphony.
