Taking it to the Streets
On June 21, the first day of summer, some 400 musical acts will take to the streets of New York for "Make Music New York," a city-wide celebration of music. The event is modeled after France's "Fête de la Musique," first held in 1982 in Paris and an annual event throughout the country ever since. Today, Aaron Friedman, the event's founder, joins us to shed light on some of the more unusual offerings.
Wally Cardona Quartet
Choreographer Wally Cardona is known for a "landscape" approach to performance. His work transforms not only a stage, but often an entire venue. Cardona and composer Phil Kline join us in studio to talk about their new collaboration, SITE, which runs May 29 through June 2 at Dance Theater Workshop.
