Annik LaFarge, author of On the High Line and Chasing Chopin, addresses the question she most frequently gets: how do you go from the High Line, a 21st century public park created on an abandoned elevated railroad in New York City, to a piano sonata by a Polish composer created in 19th century France? Using gorgeous photography and selected short video clips she finds a link in the preoccupations, philosophy and works of the Romantics.

Music on the Cello with Alex Prizgintas

Join Alex Prizgintas as he explores classical, jazz, and rock music on the cello. While playing the cello in its traditional form, Alex also employs an assortment of guitar pedals to generate altered tones. Some of these pedals include the distortion, delay, the iconic “wah-wah” pedal (symbolic of 1960s rock bands), and a Boss RC-300 looping station. This is arguably the most important piece of Alex's equipment, allowing him to pre-record musical tracks as well as offering the ability to record and loop various tracks live while creating the sensation of a modern one-man band.
