Diamanda Galas (www.diamandagalas.com)Scream Queen
Diamanda Galas ignores the traditional ways in which women are expected to sing and instead offers a cross between Dracula and Goth-rock as she takes on subjects including power, abandonment, grief and the AIDS epidemic. She returns to New York for two performances of "Defixiones, Orders from the Dead" an operatic mass which speaks of the Armenian, Assyrian, Anatolian and Pontic Greek genocides. She joins us to talk about the New York premiere. Also on the show: Rivers and Tides director Thomas Riedelsheimer drops by to discuss his new documentary on Grammy award-winning, deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie entitled Touch the Sound.
