Summer Breeze
It's summer, which means the return of outdoor pops concerts. Los Angeles Times arts reporter Scott Timberg joins us to look at how pops have changed since Arthur Fielder took over the Boston Pops 75 years ago, and music included Strauss waltzes, Rossini overtures, and Wagner preludes. These days, pops can mean everything from medleys of TV themes to celebrity crooners doing music from last year's blockbuster movie. Also, a visit with Kitty Brazelton. She's a rock musician with a doctorate in composition from Columbia University, and she combines influences of medieval chant, free jazz, and punk.
