Spotlight On: 92nd Street Y's "Days of Awe"

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Next month, the 92nd Street Y presents "Days of Awe: Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die" — which explores the theme of repentance through musical and dramatic performances. Tonight David is joined by Dr. Hanna Arie-Gaifman, director of the 92nd Street Y's Tisch Center for the Arts, to talk about the role of music and art in religious culture.

Later in the evening we'll enjoy a birthday salute to Romanian composer George Enescu (b. 1881): Miklos Rozsa leads the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in the first of Enescu's popular "Romanian Rhapsodies." Two Baroque suites fill out the program, J.S. Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 and the "Royall Consort" Suite (No. 8) by William Lawes.
