Since there’s no such thing as too much music, composer Reena Esmail says everyone should feel free to add their voice to the chorus. Esmail is the subject of this month’s KUSC Local Composer Project and she describes how her musical journey brought together Indian classical and western classical music. Plus, the quirky French movie Amelie was a big screen charmer, now it’s a stage musical. Get to know Esmail and Amelie on the Arts Alive podcast.
