PACIFICA QUARTET AND KAREN ZORN
LIVE
at WGBH 89.7FM Boston
November 16, 2007
In this live one-hour WGBH radio broadcast, Longy President Karen Zorn shares her vision for Longy, “a very optimistic school” that looks at music and music education in a bigger way — “how music can be a vehicle to make change.” The program features two quartets performed by the high-energy Pacifica Quartet, who are serving a four-year residency in Longy’s Visiting Artists in Chamber Music program, teaching Longy’s students how to both perform and coach chamber music. The acclaimed quartet also is participating in Longy’s outreach programs to area schoolchildren.
