Celebrating Creativity
Silicon Valley is a center for technological creativity and musical creativity. In today's show, we'll spend a full hour at one of the great American music festivals, the Music@Menlo Festival in Palo Alto and Menlo Park, California. Everything from early English music to a rollicking hendectet, a piece for 11 players. We'll hear 11 of Menlo's finest in Camille Saint-Saens' (pictured) "Carnival of the Animals."
