About

This week, From the Top comes to you from the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where you’ll hear a 14-year-old violinist from California perform the glitzy “Carmen Fantasie” by Franz Waxman and enjoy an audio postcard sent in by a 16-year-old bass/baritone from nearby Lookout Mountain. You’ll also hear the amazing story of a Mongolian teenage cellist who was invited to move to America by a touring musician.
