NPR Radio show 7/13/10!
Posted: Thursday | 07.15.10
On July 13th I was the guest host at NPR radio station KUSP in Santa Cruz, California when I hosted their 2 1/2 hour classical music show. The ‘theme’ of this show was basically contemporary, 20th century music by world-wide composers.
I selected music of Russian, Austrian, American, French, and South American origin. Included were American composers Aaron Copland and Augusta Read Thomas. The Russian-born composers were Prokofiev and Stravinsky. The French composer selected was Maurice Ravel; and the last was Astor Piazzola, whose Tango music was performed by Yo Yo Ma, with supporting instrumentalists.
