An American in Vienna

On this week’s Prairie Performances, we explore the surprising connections between two musicians with contrasting sounds: American composer George Gershwin, and central figure of the Second Viennese School Arnold Schoenberg. To help us connect the dots, I spoke with conductor and pianist Levi Hammer, whose upcoming album Gershwin in Vienna explores exactly this topic.
