Nicole Chung joins us to discuss her new book, All You Can Ever Know: A Memoir. Chung was born severely premature, placed for adoption by her Korean parents, and raised by a white family in Oregon. She believed that her biological parents had made the ultimate sacrifice in the hope of giving her a better life. But as Nicole grew up, she wondered if the story she’d been told was the whole truth. On November 5, Chung has an event with Symphony Space at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre at 7:30pm. 

Clemency Burton-Hill joins us (at 24:30) to discuss her book, Year of Wonder: Classical Music for Every Day and offers her thoughts on the best classical music for the day.

Anthony Tommasini joins us (at 35:45) to talk about his new book, The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide, in which he seeks to find out who has determined the few composers who become part of the canon.
