Show Notes
The Grammy Award-winning Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) led by conductor Gil Rose releases Vijay Iyer: Trouble on its eponymous label. Marking his debut recording as an orchestral composer, he joins The Culture Show to talk about this work.
In his new book, “Baseball: The Movie,” sportswriter and film critic Noah Gittell takes us through the history of the baseball movie, with a look at how those films have changed–from feel-good, to nostalgic, to cynical–are a reflection of how American values have changed.
Finally Zola Simone, who will be performing at Cambridge Crossing Summer Nights Series’ free outdoor concert, joins The Culture Show for a preview.
