About
This week, our show in Abilene, Texas proves that the pipe organ isn’t just for church anymore as two of the best teenage organists in America play 20th and 21st century concert music. Also, a 16-year old cellist plays Tchaikovsky, and we’ll meet a 12-year-old pianist from here in Abilene and get a glimpse inside her worry box.
