Grammy Award Winning composer Danae Vlasse returns to Musician's Spotlight. Danae goes in depth with the details of her recent recording of the epic composition "Mythologies II", recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.

Danae’s musical exploration of classic Greek myths demonstrates a nuanced perspective on the protagonists of ancient stories, which speak fundamental truths about the human condition and societal values.

Danae talks about the journey of being nominated and winning a Grammy and how it has impacted her career and also gets more personal in discussing how this piece is a gift to her Greek father, himself born on the Island of Ithaca where these myths were born.

John Floridis, the host and producer of Musician's Spotlight, has been with Montana Public Radio since 1997. He has interviewed over 200 musicians during that time. He is also an independent recording and performing artist in his own right and a former registered music therapist.
