One Lonely, One Not
The life of a concert pianist is often lonely and nomadic. Jetting from city to city, never putting down roots in one place for very long. Superstar pianist Martha Argerich combats the loneliness by staging a month-long music festival in Lugano, Switzerland, giving performances with all her closest friends and colleagues. We'll hear her in concert at the Martha Argerich Project in Lugano, playing a Beethoven concerto. And we'll hear a lament for the ultimate lonely nomad, the shepherd. Paula Robison and friends play a flute trio based on a poem called "The Shepherd's Lament."
