1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 I'm pleased to welcome to the show Rebecca Smithorn, cover conductor and lecturer with the National Philharmonic. Rebecca is host of the NatPhil's YouTube series &quot;Composers in Crisis&quot; which takes a look at composers whose lives and art were transformed by times of global crisis. In our interview we talk about several composers in crisis: Beethoven, Ravel, Ruth Crawford-Seeger, John Corigliano, Undine Smith Moore, and a good ol' good one, Louis Armstrong, who Duke Ellington said was &quot;Born poor, died rich, and never hurt anyone in between.&quot; &quot;Composers in Crisis&quot; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3agUbwO72pA&amp;amp;list=PLtZH2-QfYm4ypSuSDPAyl13znMQZPv24S https://rebeccasmithorn.com --------------- Try nkoda for free!
