Rock Photography in the iPhone Age
Music fans are revolutionizing photography with digital cameras, iPhones and other devices. On today's show, we find out what this means for the art of the image when we talk with two professional photographers. Also: Chinese pianist Xiayin Wang, who arrived in New York a decade ago, is among the wealth of piano talent to emerge from that country in the past decade. She talks with us today about China's musical emergence and performs live.

Xiayin Wang live
Xiayin Wang (pronounced "shay-in wong") is one of the rising young concert pianists to emerge from China’s thriving classical music scene. Her father was a professional erhu player (a Chinese string instrument) and she won several prizes in China before coming to the U.S. She joins us to perform live from her third album, an all-Scriabin CD on the Naxos label.
