Dr. Daniel Perttu's recent composition, "To Spring - An Overture," was aired on WCNY, the public radio station based in Syracuse, Utica, and Watertown, NY. Perttu is an associate professor of music, and currently serves as chair of the Westminster's School of Music. 

"I was thrilled to hear that my piece was selected to be aired on WCNY," said Perttu. "WCNY is a central New York's public broadcasting station, and I am honored that they chose my music to be featured."

Perttu's composition was aired on a program entitled "Fresh from the Wrapper," hosted by Diane Jones, which features new releases. "To Spring" was recorded by the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra with Petr Vronsky conducting on the PARMA Recordings label. The album will be formally released in September, 2017, but it has been pre-released to targeted entities.
