Orion Rigel Dommisse

Named for both a constellation and its brightest star, Orion Rigel Dommisse nevertheless writes very down-to-earth songs about the astronomy of the human heart. She creates her own insular but engrossing world of music as she sings, accompanying herself on an electric cello which she plucks like an oversized guitar. Orion joins host David Garland in the WNYC Studio to talk about her music and the emotions behind it, and to perform with her cello, and at the grand piano. This show first aired on December 9, 2007.
