This Week in Texas Music History, we’ll celebrate a woman who wrote the state’s first known English-language song.

In the Saturday Spotlight, we're paying a visit to the doctor on Halloween.

Last in our series of one-on-one interviews with the architects behind the AT&T PAC. After their press conference, Norman Foster and Spencer de Grey talked with us about loving opera, traditions vs. popularity and the AT&T logo on the Winspear's roof.

Commerce-based artist David Zvanut talks about technology’s role in producing Music on Parade, his winning entry in the 4th Annual Catholic Foundation Plaza Artists Competition, as part of this week’s Art&Seek Q&A:

Did you attend the live performance of Philip Glass' Dracula score on Saturday at the Winspear Opera House? KERA's (and soon to be KXT's) Paul Slavens did, and he sends along this review.

Nick Prueher talks to Krys Boyd about the truly funny-awful tapes of the Found Footage Festival: training films, dating videos and, of course, the guy-dropping-his-pants furniture ad. Through such tapes, you, too, can learn to defend yourself against some really vicious short ribs.

Congratulations to Hector Arencibia of Keller, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest!

In Cormac McCarthy's novels, the Texas-Mexico border is a major, dramatic life-changing event for young Anglos headed south. In Oscar Casares' writing, the border is a fact of life — to be negotiated, ignored, overcome. The Brownsville native talks to us about family legends, the border and his new novel, Amigoland.

KERA's Bill Zeeble talks with Winspear Opera House acoustician Bob Essert about his sound design for the hall.

Innovative architect Rem Koolhaas met with the media last week — and then sat down with us to answer questions about the Wyly Theatre, Dallas architecture ("very bland"), the courage of Dallas donors and the horizontal vs. the vertical in the Arts District.
