Spotlight on: Caramoor

Evening Music | May 6, 2010

Every year the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts serves up a wide range of exciting concerts in beautiful surroundings. Tonight, General Director Michael Barrett joins David in the studio; also, Caramoor composer-in-residence John Musto and soprano Georgia Jarman.

Music new and old fills out the evening as violinist Gregory Fulkerson performs solos from Philip Glass's opera "Einstein on the Beach"; we'll also hear the Salomon String Quartet in Haydn's Third String Quartet. Paul Hillier and Andrew Lawrence-King evoke medieval France with some Troubador songs, while the early music ensemble Sequentia continue the medieval theme with music by the German mystic, author, and composer Hildegard von Bingen.
