Prism Quartet's "Generate Music" project took its inspiration from the Nazi effort to ban the music of Jewish composers and American jazz and widened it to a broader scope to explore the relationship between Jewish and African-American composers, musicians, artists, populations and cultures. The quartet commissioned eight works, and this broadcast features the final concert result. Co-curators of the project - quartet member Matt Levy, and Helen Haynes, past Director of Exhibitions and Programs at the African-American Museum of Philadelphia - join David Osenberg as co-hosts for this concert broadcast.
