Our Boys Overseas
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Uri Caine, director of one of the oldest music festivals in the world, stops by the studio. As Biennale di Venezia goes into its 47th International Festival of Contemporary Music, Caine discusses the festival entitled "ReMix: structures and improvisations." Every summer, the top sacred music artists gather in Morocco for a week of concerts, lectures, exhibitions and much more. Zeybah Rehman from the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music chats with John about this year's lineup. And we talk to conductor Valery Gergiev, who is appearing at the White Nights Festival in St. Petersburg and the Lincoln Center Festival.
Additional Resources:
At the Lincoln Center Festival, Valery Gergiev, the Kirov Opera and the Mariinsky Theater are co-presenting with The Metropolitan Opera on the North American Premiere of Sergei Prokofiev’s opera “Semyon Kotko.”
