Classical Routes

April 19th, 2006 ~ For too long classical and popular music have existed in different worlds, and on this American Routes we'll take a look at where those worlds have actually collided: how high art music crosses over with the folk, jazz and avant-garde forms. Music from George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Scott Joplin, Stephen Foster, Mark O'Connor and Steve Reich. Plus the adventures of 19th century New Orleans pianist Louis Moreau Gottschalk. It's roots with strings on American Routes.
