Yoko Ono, Arctic, Hamlisch

Studio 360

Studio 360 reaches the ends of the earth. Yoko Ono is one of the few artists who can stay experimental while hitting number one on the dance charts. Her musical polar opposite is Marvin Hamlisch the composer of “A Chorus Line” and “The Sting.” He recalls creating some of Broadway’s and Hollywood’s best known scores. And then it’s off to the North Pole. Really. Hear how artists prepare for a journey to the Arctic Circle where frostbite is the greatest barrier to creativity.
