Fresh off my unceremonious cancellation from WWFM – The Classical Network, I’ll be joining Phil Merkel this afternoon on WUSB for an interview with composer Stanley Silverman.
Silverman’s career has been so rich and diverse, embracing theater, film, television, classical music, and pop – he’s collaborated with artists as varied as Leonard Bernstein, Anthony Burgess, Arthur Miller, Mike Nichols, Joseph Papp, Arthur Penn, Paul Simon, Sting, James Taylor, and Michael Tilson Thomas – that it would be quixotic to believe we would even be able to scratch the surface in a 40-minute visit.
Be that as it may, Silverman will drop by to talk about his latest album, “In Celebration: The Piano Trios of Stanley Silverman,” on the Signum Classics label (Signum Records). The music is performed by the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, with special guest artist Sting. Yes, THAT Sting.
The conversation will take place this afternoon in the 3:00 hour on Captain Phil’s Planet on WUSB, the radio station of Stony Brook University. I hope you’ll join us in welcoming Stanley Silverman!
