John Corigliano, one of the finest and most widely recognized American composers, visited Washington State University as the guest composer at W.S.U.'s Festival of Contemporary Art Music, February 8-10th. He took the time to sit in the studio with me for an hour and talk about his music and his life. John has won about every kind of prize imaginable including Grammy Awards, the Academy Award for his score to "The Red Violin" and a Pulitzer Prize for his Second Symphony.
It was a privilege to speak with him and I found him to be thoughtful, thought-provoking and fun to hang out with! His insights into composition were especially thought provoking.
Feel free to sit in our conversation!
March brought actor Kyle MachLachlan to Yakima. It was a lot of fun speaking with him on the air via phone from Yakima. He is a very nice man with a great sense of humor.
Get Kyle here...well, not literally!
