Stephen Sondheim
Continuing the American Music Festival, we celebrate that most American of composers, Stephen Sondheim. Stellar highlights from last year's "Wall to Wall Sondheim" at Symphony Space will be featured in "Broadway Baby: Stephen Sondheim at 75," hosted by Susan Stamberg at 7p.m. tonight.
After our Sondheim extravaganza, David will focus on two American composers, one legendary and one up-and-coming. The New York Philharmonic brings us Leonard Bernstein's "Symphonic Dances" from "West Side Story" (led by the composer himself, of course). After that, we'll hear from the young composer (not to mention accomplished violist)Kenji Bunch; the Ahn Trio performs a work written especially for them, "Swing Shift."
