The Arts Section 07/12/20: A Concert for Cuba, HAMILTON Review + Chicago Dining Update

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek talks to some of the people working on a giant two-night streaming concert celebrating Cuban culture. The event has some strong Chicago connections, including HotHouse’s Marguerite Horberg and Chicago Jazz Philharmonic’s Orbert Davis. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to discuss the Broadway and now streaming sensation that’s sweeping the nation, HAMILTON. And later in the program, Gary catches up with Chicago magazine dining editor Amy Cavanaugh to talk about the challenges still facing restaurants and bars in Illinois’ Phase-4 and a new cookbook.
