AIR's Jeannie Hopper speaks with Toffer Christenson, whose work with The Beach Concerts, through its myriad partnerships with the likes of The Bowery Presents, Water Taxi Beach and The Highline Ballroom, has led to some of the most exciting musical events in New York City. Chistenson discusses his experiences with Blue Note, B.B. King Blues Club and Highline, organizations with which he has booked shows everywhere from New York to Las Vegas to Boston, and how his musical appreciation knows no bounds--even if he's never booked a classical music program. He discusses some of the summer 2010 events he is most looking forward to--he confirms it: Prince will be performing--and how he comes to finding bands of note and interest (28 minutes).
