Weekend of May 24, 2008
Music and literature
This weekend on PT, we'll have an hour on poetry, featuring a conversation with mezzo-soprano Susan Graham and a tribute to Federico Garcia Lorca. Then we'll have pianist and poet Stephen Hough talking about what words can do that music can't, and vice versa. He also plays pieces by Emmanuel Chabrier and Mendelssohn in Denver.
