Weekend of June 18, 2011

Musical Fathers

Pianist and conductor Jeffrey Kahane sums up the dilemma of musical fatherhood: How do you encourage your child as a musician without living your life and dreams through him or her? Kahane's son Gabriel is a successful composer and songwriter. He joins host Fred Child for music and conversation, and to talk about his dad. Plus, the father-and-daughter team of Mischa (pictured) and Lily Maisky, in concert in Croatia.
