New Play Imagines Meetings Between Beethoven and Mozart

A Tempo Saturday (5/23 at 7 pm) features a conversation with playwright Jack Canfora, whose play The Vienna Lessons debuts next month.

Scholars have long argued whether Mozart and Beethoven actually met while the younger Beethoven spent about two months in Vienna in 1787. A new play by Jack Canfora, which opens June 4 at at the New Jersey Repertory Company in Long Branch, looks at what the two musical giants might have discussed and debated. A Tempo host Rachel Katz chats with Canfora about the work.

Rachel Katz is the host of A Tempo which airs Saturdays at 7 pm.
