The New World
Monday morning, we wake up to the New World. The Fourth Movement of the symphony to be exact, and conductor Gustavo Dudamel is in a frenzy, as he should be. And oh yes, that’s the Pope back there.

Just One Look: The Hollies
The Hollies, with Graham Nash, later of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, singing the lead.
Is it just me, but if you close your eyes, doesn’t it sound just like an outtake from “Meet The Beatles”?

Summer Solstice Winter
For decade after decade, musician and composer Paul Winter has been making beautiful music, blending the sounds of the earth and nature with his signature soprano saxophone. In an extraordinary life filled with adventure and achievement, he has won seven Grammy awards, played for the Kennedys at the White House, and he has been artist in residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City for forty years–and that’s just scratching the surface. I was happy to interview Paul Winter for the Arts Express radio program.

Decolonize Museums
A memorable day in any big city child’s upbringing is when they first enter a large museum and experience the wonders of a giant dinosaur, skeleton, or an ancient mummy. But in a new book, Decolonize Museums, our guest Shimrit Lee suggests that maybe museums are not as innocent as they seem…

Paul Winter Talks About Philippe Petit
I interviewed the great world musician Paul Winter last week, and the conversation took a side turn to Paul talking about his collaborations with his friend, the high wire artist, Phillipe Petit. They are both artists in residence at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in NYC. I had to cut this part from the edited interview, but I thought readers of this blog might enjoy hearing Paul Winter’s thoughts about Petit.
