About

This week, we’re at Chautauqua Amphitheater at the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, New York, where you’ll hear a teenage guitarist play his own arrangement of Scarlatti and a 13-year-old pianist perform Liszt. You’ll also hear from an 18-year-old soprano who not only met her idol, Renee Fleming, but had the great singer select the piece she’ll perform on the show.
