Barbara Hendricks
American soprano Barbara Hendricks takes her roles as goodwill ambassador for the United Nations
High Commission for Refugees and special adviser on intercultural relations to the director general of Unesco very seriously. She talks to Joan Bakewell about this work and also about her own human-rights association, the Association for
Humanitarian Action. Music includes
Copland's The World Feels Dusty and the soprano solo from Mahler's Symphony No 4.
