    Eat to the Beat

    Chef Daniel Bouloud, best known for his Michelin two-star restaurant, Daniel and the Grammy-winning composer Richard Danielpour have collaborated on a menu of six courses and wines, corresponding to a "gastronomic concerto for six instruments." Today, the two join us to explore the long, mouthwatering relationship between food and music, seasoned with a live performance featuring the chamber ensemble Music From Copland House. Also: a visit with Si*Sé, a New York-based quintet that plays a mix of down-tempo soul, electronica, and funk anchored by the soulful vocals of Dominican-Arabic singer Carol C.
