In Studio with Ben Cosgrove by Connecticut Public Radio/WNPR

When we heard that musician Ben Cosgrove was spending a year as the first ever composer-in-residence for the New England Trail, we knew we needed to have him on NEXT. When we asked him where he's based, he said "I'm based all over New England."

Ben Cosgrove writes and performs instrumental compositions inspired by landscapes. A New Hampshire native, he's held residencies and fellowships at Acadia National Park, Middlebury College, Harvard University, the Vermont Studio Center, and White Mountain National Forest; and recorded three studio albums.

Cosgrove joined us in the studio to talk about his process and played us some musical selections, including a never-before-heard track from his upcoming New England Trail-inspired album.
