New York, NY —
For the past week WNYC's Evening Music has featured special programming highlighting the musical and cultural life of Berlin. WNYC decided to explore why Berlin is such a thriving arts capital, and whether New York could learn anything from the city. We spoke with a handful of American artists who made the move to Berlin: choreographer Jeremy Wade; musician, composer and songwriter Christina Wheeler and visual artist Christine Hill, as well as Michael Kimmelman, the chief art critic for The New York Times, who is now based in Berlin.
