Simon Dinnerstein, Sonatina, 1981, conté crayon, 26 1/2" x 40 1/2" (ACA Galleries, New York)Unlikely Inspirations
The noted American painter Simon Dinnerstein’s paintings are "fantastically evocative...casting ordinary subjects in an extraordinary light." So wrote the composer Gabriela Lena Frank, who transformed some of his paintings into musical compositions, and has enlisted the Chiara Quartet and pianist Simone Dinnerstein, Simon’s daughter, to perform her work. They'll perform for us today, live in the studio. And then, M. Ward is a 31-year-old singer and songwriter who has been playing to rave reviews around the country. His newest record, Transistor Radio, conjures up the music of years past, but his talent is as fresh as the 21st century. He'll perform live as well.
