    Hot Fun in the Summertime

    Every summer, the Mostly Mozart festival reminds New Yorkers how fun music from the eighteenth century can be. The new director of the series, the French conductor Louis Langree, stops by to tell us what to expect this summer. Plus, how do you pay tribute to a composer and music educator? You put on a concert of her music. Ursula Mamlok stops by to spread the word about an upcoming concert of her music.
