How does a new piece of music get created? Join host Sidney Chen for a series of conversations with composers about their sources for inspiration, what lights the creative spark, and how they choose which techniques in their compositional toolbox to use. Through talking with the creators themselves, we unlock the ideas behind the music of they write, and learn how they draw sounds from silence.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes.
