Spotlight on: Banglewood
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
The spotlight's on the new music ensemble Bang on a Can and their three-week long summer music festival (and institute) at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Composers Julia Wolfe and Michael Gordon join David to talk about the festival, also known as "Banglewood."
Later in the evening, we'll listen to music both old and new: The Trio Lyra perform Ben Steinberg's "Three Songs for Flute, Viola and Harp"; conversely, the Instrumental Group of Paris brings us Villa-Lobos's Quintet for Harp, Strings and Flute. Continuing the trend, flutist Robert Aitken is joined by the CBC Vancouver Orchestra for C.P.E. Bach's Flute Concerto in B-flat, led by conductor Mario Bernardi.
