The Barge in "Bargemusic" has come a long way since the old days when it was toting sacks of coffee across New York Harbor. Now it's home to a year-round series of world-class concerts at the Fulton Ferry Landing. Tonight, David is joined by President and Executive Director (not to mention violinist) Mark Peskanov to talk about Bargemusic's upcoming concerts.
We'll spend the rest of the evening marking the anniversary of the birth of the great Nadia Boulanger in 1887. As a mentor and teacher, her influence reached further than anyone else in music history; the list of her students reads like a "who's who of 20th-century music." We'll hear music by some of those students tonight, including Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, Philip Glass and Ned Rorem. Finally, a glimpse of Boulanger in a different role, as she conducts the New York Philharmonic in Faure's beautiful "Requiem."
