MILES HOFFMAN is the violist and founder of the American Chamber Players, and associate professor of Viola at Converse College. As music commentator for Morning Edition, National Public Radio’s flagship news program, Hoffman is heard regularly by a national audience of some 14 million people. His sparkling feature, “Coming to Terms,” was a weekly favorite for thirteen years—from 1989 to 2002—on NPR’s Performance Today, and he is the author of The NPR Classical Music Companion: An Essential Guide for Enlightened Listening, now in its tenth printing from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. He is the host for the national radio broadcasts of Chamber Music from the Spoleto Festival USA, and his radio modules, A Minute with Miles, are a daily feature of SCETV-South Carolina Public Radio, with national distribution coming soon.
