The Hampsong Foundation: Song and Beyond - Episode III
The Hampsong Foundation takes over Thomas Hampson's World of Song series this month, presenting riveting conversations with scriptwriters and scholars from the foundation's Song of America and Song: Mirror of the World projects. Founded in 2003, The Hampsong Foundation creates platforms to support and proliferate the art of classic song—poetry set to music—from around the world as a means to enhance communication and understanding among cultures.
In this episode, Thomas and Christie Finn, Managing Director of The Hampsong Foundation, will chat with composers Lori Laitman and B.E. Boykin. The episode will centre on Women's Creativity, using the Song of America program "There is No Gender in Music" as the starting point. Together, they will also discuss their work as musicians and composers today, especially as composers of vocal music and song.
Now being produced in collaboration with The Hampsong Foundation, all episodes will be available on the Foundation's Facebook page and YouTube.
Original airdate: 15 September 2020.
