The PlayList’s second season continues Thursday, Oct. 14, at 9pm on WDSE-WRPT’s PBS North (8.1/31.1).

Wing Young Huie’s photography takes his audience through the rapid-fire labyrinth of socioeconomic and cultural realities along University Avenue’s six-mile thoroughfare in St. Paul, Minnesota.  His University Avenue Project: The Language of Urbanism, a Six-Mile Photographic Inquiry documents rapidly changing social and economical identities within the ethnically diverse neighborhoods along its route.  Huie is a Duluth native.  His award-winning work captures the changing face of Minnesota.

Calling to mind Andres Segovia’s transformation of the Spanish guitar from a gypsy’s instrument to a solo classical instrument resonating through concert halls, accordionist Lidia Kaminska transforms the squeezebox into a handheld pipe organ.   She wows audiences with solo arrangements of Rachmaninoff, Mendelssohn, and others on her bandoneón, a type of accordion.  Just days before performing Surprising Tangos for the DSSO, Kaminska shares her amazing talents in the WDSE-WRPT studios and discusses the nuances of her instrument and life as a musician.

With a membership boasting music educators, members of the Duluth-Superior Symphony Orchestra, Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra, community members, and college students, the Twin Ports Wind Orchestra showcases a wide variety of local talent.  We take you behind the scenes as its musicians rev up for its 19^th season.
