On Friday, Oct. 21, from 10:30AM to11:30AM, internationally celebrated writer/performer Judy Collins will participate in a rare one-on-one interview with music journalist Jason King. The discussion will focus on “Bohemian,” Collins’ upcoming CD release. As we know, now in the fifth decade of her career, Collins is about to release “Bohemian,” her new album on the heels of her critically acclaimed 2009 release “Paradise.” Yeah.. Judy will chat with Jason King, music journalist, Artistic Director and Associate Professor of NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, about her life, career, and the making of the new album. The discussion will be highlighted by cuts from the forthcoming CD.

Her ethereal performances and top-selling recordings of songs like “Both Sides Now” and “Send in the Clowns” ultimately helped make songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Stephen Sondheim become household names.
