The Colors of Debussy
Fred Child hosted a very special live event in Boston recently. A three-hour tribute to the music of Claude Debussy, featuring pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin, clarinetist Richard Stoltzman, and saxophonist Kenneth Radnofsky. We'll hear highlights today and tomorrow, and lots of Debussy all week long, in honor of his 150th birthday on Wednesday.
