Programmer’s Picks Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
A Beautiful Symphony of Brotherhood
Los Angeles Philharmonic in Concert
Guitar Fest week was suggested by a listener who’s a fan of the great guitar master Andres Segovia. We’ll hear Segovia and others in original works and arrangements from Bach to Cuba’s Leo Brouwer, and more.
Terrance McKnight describes the arc of Martin Luther King’s life through his love of music: classical, blues, show tunes, and spirituals. We’ll listen to King’s speeches and sermons that illustrate the powerful place that music held in his work.
Carl Sandburg’s Four Preludes on Playthings of the Wind envisions a once-great, now-deserted city. To Michael Tilson Thomas, this suggested an end-ofthe-world party for chamber orchestra, jazz band, electronics, and voices.
