"It's perhaps the music that travels best": Aria

Aria. We begin where the piece begins: the "aria" on which the rest of the piece is based. This episode introduces the project, including why I embarked on this project, and how the piece inspires people today. Conversation with architect and nanoscientist who listen to the piece every day. Other guests include Simone Dinnerstein, Angela Hewitt, Jeff Scott, and Dan Tepfer.

Created by Lowry Yankwich. Editorial advice from David Schrieberg. Music credits below.
