An American Violinist in Kabul
Twenty-eight year-old American violinist William Harvey is halfway through a year-long appointment teaching violin and viola at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul. He spoke with PT host Fred Child before he left, and again recently on the phone from Afghanistan. Harvey says he not only feels "very safe" in Kabul, he's having an incredible time sharing the Western tradition with young Afghan musicians, and learning Afghan music from them.
