We explore how music can bridge cultural and political divides, how it can break down stereotypes, and its impact on violence.
The Little Theatre is showing The Music of Strangers:Yo-YoMa and the Silk Road Ensemble. We talk to the documentary's director and we even explore a question raised by a musician in the film: can a piece of music stop a bullet? Our guests:
- Ellen Koskoff, professor of ethnomusicology and director of the ethnomusicology programs at the Eastman School of Music
- Alexander Peña, director of the ROCMusic Initiative
- Mona Seghatoleslami, host and producer of Classical 91.5 FM
- Morgan Neville, director of The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble
