Educator, ethnomusicologist, and Egypt's most important living composer of classical
music Halim El-Dabh visits today. El-Dabh’s biographer, Dr. Denise Seachrist
joins him as well to discuss his career and the new book The Musical World
of Halim El-Dabh. We also welcome Irish composer Donnacha Dennehey, whose
new work is being premiered at Bang on a Can's People's Commissioning Fund concert
this weekend. Who are these "people" that commissioned him? Well, that
would be WNYC.
