Baby New Year's Search for Classical
Big changes are coming to major orchestras in New York and Los Angeles. Alice Tully Hall reopens after a major renovation. Anastasia Tsioulcas, Gramophone magazine’s North American editor, joins us with her highlights.
Calypso Rose
Calypso superstar McArtha Lewis, better known as Calypso Rose, composed her first calypso after witnessing a man stealing the glasses off of a woman’s face in Trinidad, warning people from her native country of Tobago not to travel to the country. She later wrote the anthem "Fire in Me Wire", which became a calypso classic, and held the title of Calypso Queen for five years in a row. Calypso Rose joins us live in the studio for a performance and a discussion of her career.
