Bill Kanengiser tells the thought-provoking story and inspiration behind a newly commissioned piece by Sergio Assad titled “The Walls.” Over the course of four movements, this piece for solo guitar and guitar orchestra portrays four historic barriers that were once built to separate people - Great Wall of China, Hadrian’s Wall, Berlin Wall, and Israeli West Bank Barrier. Listen to sections of each movement and hear Bill discuss how Sergio musically communicated their meaning on this week’s episode.
