This is really strange, and yet really interesting. I had no idea Chomsky was so into music. What was the event—that is, why is Chomsky sitting among the Kronos Quartet?

If I can remember correctly, Chomsky said that he wasn't attuned to the world of music in one of his interviews. But i guess he's into stuff that isn't popular music.

Chomsky has never said (that I've read or heard, and I keep up with almost everything about him) that he doesn't like music. As far back as the 1960s, he was saying that he doesn't really care for the sound of current popular music, particularly rock, but he has often mentioned that he likes classical music, particularly J. S. Bach. If there are any doubts, his remarks during this performance should dispel them; he really loves classical music.

This is the world premiere of Tod Machover's Chomsky Suite, performed on Friday April 15, 2011, at the MIT FAST music marathon. Chomsky hasn't investigated music as a subject of study, but what he revealed in this performance is that he has a deep, life-long love of music. He told a story of going to hear Pablo Casals perform the Bach Cello Suites in the village of Prades. Casals was of course famous both for resurrecting the Bach suites from oblivion and for his outspoken opposition to fascism.
One looks forward to eventually seeing all of this. What percentage of the part involving Chomsky does this cover please? Thankyou. Similarly is the whole item simply unrecorded (audiovisually) or deliberately unavailable, please? Thankyou.

@VaSavoir2007 It is probably a third part of his presentation, because I got out of battery. You should ask at MIT for the official recording.
