One of the hallmarks of Giancarlo’s tenure has been the relationships he has developed
with composers, inviting them to Nashville to make definitive recordings of their work. Julia
Wolfe is one such composer: she describes her Flower Power, inspired by the 1960s
counterculture movement, as “about optimism, idealism, psychedelia, breaking with
convention, and a little bit of love and peace.”
