Kapilow’s range of activities is astonishingly broad, including his What Makes It Great? presentations (now for more than 15 seasons in New York and Boston), his family compositions and Family Musik events, his Citypieces, and residencies with institutions as diverse as the National Gallery of Canada and Stanford University. The reach of his interactive events and activities is wide, both geographically and culturally: from Native American tribal communities in Montana and inner-city high school students in to audiences in Kyoto and Kuala Lumpur, and from tots barely out of diapers to musicologists in Ivy League programs, his audiences are diverse and unexpected, but invariably rapt and keen to come back for more. Kapilow’s popularity and appeal are reflected in notable invitations and achievements: he appeared on NBC’s Today Show in conversation with then-host Katie Couric and he presented a special What Makes It Great? event for broadcast on PBS’s Live From Lincoln Center. He has written two highly popular books published by Wiley/ Lincoln Center: All You Have to Do Is Listen, which won the PSP Prose Award for “Best Book in Music and the Performing Arts”; and the 2011 What Makes It Great, the first book of its kind to be especially designed for the iPad with embedded musical examples.
