History Across the Hudson
Where can you find one of the finest collections of rare Italian string instruments in the world? You might be surprised that the answer is New Jersey. Thanks to the help of philanthropist and amateur violinist Herbert Axelrod, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra has recently acquired 30 violins, violas and cellos that where produced in 17th and 18th century Italy. NJSO cellists Jonathan Spitz and Jason Lippmann will be in the WNYC studio to give a live performance on these historic instruments. Also, New York Times writer Robin Pogrebin joins us to discuss the musicians walkout that has shut down almost every Broadway musical.
