When American composer Emily Cooley was living in Philadelphia, she stumbled across an essay by Virginia Woolf. That essay inspired Cooley to write a piece of music, and she even borrowed the title. On this episode of Performance Today, hear Street Haunting by Emily Cooley, from a concert at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.
