Asian, African and Jazz music come together on Apex. Anthony Brown, leader of the Grammy-nominated Asian American Orchestra, and Alam Khan – son of the great Ali Akbar Khan – talk about how they bring their diverse heritages into their art as well as how music, cultures and social concepts converge. We’ll hear about their up-coming performances with the Asian American Orchestra at Stern Grove and with programmer Robin Sukhadia talking about a free event at the Ali Akbar Khan school of music. And, we’ll learn about the sentiments of South Koreans towards the greater deployment of their troops to Iraq and about the death of the South Korean hostage. Plus music, calendar and more.
