American Highways

mon 29 mar 2021 22:00 hrs

Pianist Guy Livingston is back with a “Labor Day Special”, in honor of the American holiday this weekend. Episode #93 of American Highways: Music of Dan Moses Schreier, Marc Blitzstein, Plastic People of the Universe, Paul Bowles, John Cage, and Kurt Weill.

A Labor Day Special with a hint of political activism… Pianist Guy Livingston introduces us to his upcoming interviewees (later this autumn) – pianist Sarah Cahill; composer Dan Moses Schreier; and singer Justin Hopkins. And he weaves their stories together with music of Django Reinhardt, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, The Plastic People of the Universe, and Marc Blitzstein. (of course!)
