What does it mean to live with music?
Introducing Season 1 of a new one hour music show
WBGO presents Living With Music, a show about music, discovery, and music discovery.
Living With Music is inspired by free exchange, improvisation, and the creative process.
Living With Music is based on the idea that music presents a broad and complex set of emotions. So why not spend time with a community of creators speaking a spontaneous and timeless language in an age of instant access and communication?
The programs will feature Academy Award winners, Grammy winners, Pulitzer Prize winners and the new wave of composers making their mark on the cultural landscape: young people with old souls and veterans who are young at heart. All of them come from the loose confederation we call “the music community,” and your listeners will have more in common with them than they ever imagined.
