In this episode...
 We start this episode visiting two schools in Manhattan and Brooklyn, where classical music artists perform for students and parents. Pianist Simone Dinnerstein tells us about the "Neighborhood Classics" program which aims at getting children closer to this musical genre.
 Later, we go to the Highland Ballroom in Chelsea to interview the Spanish band Vetusta Morla. We've talked to the band's composers who've explained how the song creation process works, as well as their albums' self-release.
 And lastly, in Brooklyn, Carmen Boullosa receives Jaime Manrique in her house. The Colombian writer talks about the beginning of his creative quest in the US and how gay subject matter forms part of his narrative.

About Nueva York
Since its first broadcast, Nueva York has built cultural and social ties between Latinos, and amongst Spanish speaking non-Latino
communities.
Each episode is subtitled in English so that the largest numbers of viewers may appreciate more fully the richness and diversity of the cultural and humanitarian expression of the Spanish-speaking communities in the city. It is a television program that seeks to present the image of the social, educational and economic aspirations of the generations of immigrants and emigrants who have sought a better quality of life for themselves and their families.
The hosts of Nueva York are Mexican novelist and critic Carmen Boullosa and Chilean writer Patricio Lerzundi. The general producer is Professor Jerry Carlson, specialist in Latin American cinema. They are all members of the academic staff at CUNY.
CUNY TV airs on Channel 75 in the five boroughs of New York City. Nueva York also airs on Channel 22 in Mexico, and Channel 11 in Panama. You can also watch episodes online at www.cuny.tv.
