Learn everything you've ever wanted to know about Beethoven but were afraid to ask, as we launch WNYC's Beethoven Festival tonight! Musical factotum Rob Kapilow joins David Garland to give us a Beethoven primer in "Beethoven 101: A Crash Course."
Rob Kapilow, composer/conductor/commentator, is the originator and host of the "What Makes It Great" series on NPR and at Lincoln Center. Kapilow’s work brings music into people’s lives: opening new ears to musical experiences and helping people to listen actively rather than just hear. As the Boston Globe said, "It’s a cheering thought that this kind of missionary enterprise did not pass from this earth with Leonard Bernstein. Rob Kapilow is awfully good at what he does. We need him."
