Broadcast Works

The fulfilling but sometimes weird world of funeral music, CBC Radio , 2022-2022

Amy Boyes' first gig as a funeral pianist was maybe one of her strangest, with a song selection she definitely wasn't expecting. But a family's choice of music for their lost loved one can reveal a lot about the person they lost, and the reason they're all together.

Based on "Funeral Pianist" in The Globe and Mail, First Person column.
