Among them, you’ll hear a 16-year-old flutist from Georgia performing the gorgeous Concertino in D Major by Cecile Chaminade and young guitarist from Maryland whose musical journey began when he was discovered strumming a spaghetti strainer. We’ll also present our musicians with a special challenge — a quiz were calling “Finish the Famous Phrase.”
