« previous episode | next episode »

Saturday, January 06, 2007

Argentinian-born composer Sebastián Zubieta returns tonight, to talk about the Americas Society (Council of the Americas). Created to promote the music of South and Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada, "Music of the Americas" presents concerts, lectures and other programs featuring classical, modern and traditional music being produced in the region.

Later on, we'll hear two American classics: "The Red Pony" Suite by Aaron Copland and "The Unanswered Question" by Charles Ives, his hauntingly original work for trumpet, flute quartet and strings. We'll also treat ourselves to some rarely performed works by medieval French composer Gautier de Coincy and contemporary American composer Thomas Canning.
