  Singer Yungchen Lhamo
  

  Year of the Rooster in Story and Song

  Born in a labor camp outside Lhasa in Chinese-occupied Tibet, Yungchen Lhamo is a singer committed to preserving the devotional music of her native Tibet. Her name translates to "Goddess of Melody and Song," and her music has inspired international praise, as she has traveled worldwide to tell her story. She joins us for a unique perspective on the celebration of the Lunar New Year. We're also joined by Vietnamese-born, New York-based conductor Co Nguyen, who will share her memories of celebrating the New Year in Vietnam. Rounding out the show: fusions of classical music and jazz have long problematic, but the Swiss-born, New York-based composer Daniel Schnyder has been more successful than most. He joins us to share some of his vibrant compositions.
