Description
Charles Amirkhanian introduces a program by Israeli-born pianist and composer Shulamit Ran. Although she was currently teaching at Chicago University, Ms. Ran had recently traveled to Israel in order to produce for radio a series of interviews with contemporary Israeli composers. In this program she shares excerpts from these discussions and her own insights gleaned from her experience, as well as playing a number of works by these same composers. These distinctly contemporary classical works derive their inspiration from a range of thoughts and events including modern art and the Jewish experience in the 20th century.Genres
