Mark MorrisMorris Talks American Music
He's been described as "undeviating in his devotion to music"; tonight, choreographer/director Mark Morris joins Margaret to talk about whatmakes music sound American. We'll also sample some of Morris's eclectic musical tastes, with music by Henry Cowell, George Gershwin and Harry Partch.
Later tonight, we'll listen to highlights from WNYC's Music Party with the Imani Winds (featuring American music, of course!). We'll also feature music from two operas by John Adams, "The Death of Klinghoffer" and "Nixon in China."
