Dianne Reeves from the motion picture "Good Night, And Good Luck" (diannereeves.com)The Bold and the Beautiful
Jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves made a splash recently through her performances in the film "Good Night and Good Luck." Previously, she had won a devoted following through her recordings, which have earned multiple Grammy Awards. She joins us today. Also: Composer Osvaldo Golijov is one of the hottest composers on the classical scene today. Just named Musical America's composer of the year, Lincoln Center is currently staging a festival devoted to his music and Deutsche Grammophon has begun releasing a series of CDs of his works. He joins us to discuss how his music embraces rock, electronica and folk traditions of his native Argentina and Eastern Europe. Finally, Baltimore-born composer Marc Mellits is the first recipient of the Cheswatyr New Music Initiative, a project aimed not only at commissioning works, but also at guaranteeing them multiple performances. He previews "Brick," a piece that will be premiered at Carnegie Hall on Saturday by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
