Joshua Roman was only 22 when he became the principal cellist in the Seattle Symphony in 2006. He has since embarked on an adventurous solo career that has included gigs in nightclubs, an appearance with the YouTube Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, and coming this fall, a multimedia project with DJ Spooky.
Roman joins us to talk about the potential for online social media in classical music, and to play live in our studio.

Love hearing you, Joshua! We miss you in Washington. You sound wonderful!!!
"Americana" sounds like Jean Luc Ponty meets "An American In Paris" in a blender.
It was fun and athletic.
Right, Katherine! Where is LES?
TellJoshua that "endless skyway" is from Woody Guthrie's This Land is My land." We all need to be reminded from decade to decade, generation to generation of this great song.
Wow this Coast Guard @3@$ is hot. Where do I buy this?
