Contemporary classical musicians, The Tesla Quartet's newly released album, Joy and Desolation, features a work composed by University of Missouri's Carolina Heredia, and on this week's show Ross Snyder and Edwin Kaplan of the Tesla Quartet along with Carolina Heredia stop by the Speaking of the Arts studio. In the Second Act of the show, it's joy and desolation of a different kind, when director Joy Powell chats to Diana Moxon about the new production of 'The Wiz: the Super Soul Musical', which plays at the University of Missouri's Rhynsburger Theatre. And if you've ever wondered why Dorothy wears silver slippers in The Wiz, rather the red ones made famous by Judy Garland, all is revealed.
