    Robert Spano

    Terrance is re-united with a luminary from his former base, as Atlanta Symphony Music Director Robert Spano joins him in the studio for a candid conversation on the arts. We also hear musical examples of the maestro at work, including works by Jennifer Higdon and Osvaldo Golijov. This weekend, Spano leads the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in a program including the New York premiere of Christopher Theofanides' "The Here and Now."

New Americans Portraits: Yungchen Lhamo

WNYC's exclusive The New American Portraits continues with Tibetan vocalist Yungchen Lhamo, who offers her unique story of fleeing her homeland, across the dangerous Himalayan mountains, and of finding redemption in the lessons of her family and in transformative power of song. Yungchen is also the director of the New York-based Yungchen Lhamo Charitable Foundation which seeks to improve the welfare and image of her native Tibetans through outreach, sacred song and meditation workshops.
