Daniel Ahlert & Birgit Schwab—Mandolin & Guitar/Lute duoLord of the Strings
Forget about Dueling Banjos. The string combination of guitar and mandolin has its own particular appeal as we discover today when we're joined by the German guitar-mandolin duo of Daniel Ahlert and Birgit Schwab. The duo plays music from the Baroque period through the present day, including a new work by composer Geoffrey Gordon. Also, Robin Pogrebin, cultural reporter from the New York Times, gives us the scoop on the ever-so-contested open positions at New York's leading cultural institutionsthe Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, and the Public Theater. Who may be next in line for these top jobs? Tune in today and find out.
