State of the Arts for November 26, 2004
This week in State of the Arts, Minnesota Public Radio classical music host Valerie Kahler joins Marianne to talk about ambient music. Plus, an annotated Sherlock Holmes, how to listen to new music and what artists are thankful for.
Ambient music
MPR Classical music host Valerie Kahler is sitting in for Dominic this week. So what's on her cd player when she gets home? Valerie will tell us why she's listening to ambient music.

New Music
When you hear some music that you just don't get, how can you tell if it's any good? Michael Adams of the Minnesota Orchestra gives us his guidelines.

Sherlock Holmes
There is a new annotated Sherlock Holmes out. We talk to the author Les Klinger about his fascination with the great detective.

Thanks
We call up some Minnesota artists to ask what they are thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend.
