Uchida in Berlin, and NACAP in Arizona
Pianist Mitsuko Uchida has one of the most expressive faces in classical music. Vaulted brows, piercing eyes. Her features sometimes seem to have multiple emotions dancing across them at once. She brings that same depth and breadth of expression to playing piano. Mitsuko Uchida joins conductor Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic in concert in Berlin, playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3. And Part 1 of this month's "Music That Matters" feature: Native American high school students from rural Arizona and Utah meeting a string quartet from New York, and writing their own works for quartet, thanks to the Native American Composers Apprentice Project at the Grand Canyon Music Festival.
