Postcard from New York
No city captures the imagination quite like the Big Apple and no city epitomises cultural diversity quite like NYC in the 20th century: From Broadway and jazz, over the post-war avantgarde music of the New York School to some of the most innovative contemporary composers of the new millennium, the sound of New York is wonderfully rich and varied.
