About
This week, From the Top comes to you from Oklahoma City University’s Kirkpatrick Auditorium, where you’ll hear a 16-year-old trumpet player play the music of Oskar Böhme and an 11-year-old pianist play Bach. You’ll also meet the 14-year-old junior winner of the 2010 Sphinx Competition for African American and Latino string players and meet a teenage cellist who lives and breathes Judy Garland.
