Art Rocks: Hilton Lytle
to
On Friday, April 13 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, April 14 at 5:30 pm on Art Rocks!, (episode #521), we meet Hilton Lytle of Monroe who has been building and repairing violins for almost half a century. Lytle shares his secrets for creating pitch perfect fiddles and tells us how he puts instruments in the hands of as many young kids as he can. Curator Andrea Lipps guides us through an exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City that explores how the standards of beauty differ between cultures. And then, we will have a beer at Monroe’s popular Flying Tiger Brewery, this week’s Louisiana Treasure.
