Thurs. 7/18 10a:  The Albuquerque Museum of Art welcomes the local chamber ensemble, Chatter 20/21, for a series of concerts looking at music inspired by the western landscape by contemporary American composers.  The series takes place on four consecutive Thursday evenings, July 25 through August 15, during the run of the Museum's exhibit, "Changing Perceptions of the Western Landscape."  Spencer Beckwith talks with the co-Artistic Director of Chatter, clarinetist and composer James Shields.
