    Pianist Fred Hersch and Dr. Rita Charon talk with WBGO's Michael Bourne and play excerpts from "My Coma Dreams," a jazz theater work which premieres at Columbia University's Miller Theatre on March 2, at 3 and 8 p.m.

    The musical play, which dramatizes Hersch's dreamlike experiences during a medically-induced coma, will be performed with the Ensemble Michael Winther. It was developed in collaboration with Columbia's narrative medicine workshop.
