Noteworthy New York: Anne Akiko Meyers

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
We are all a product of our environment. But for many artists, the New York City landscape directly affects their creative life. With that in mind, we invited artists to name their favorite cultural spot in the city. You can view them all on the web map Noteworthy New York. Here is a pick from violinist Anne Akiko Meyers: a quiet atrium in mid-town Manhattan. She told Soundcheck producer Brian Wise what is so special about that place.
