About
This week, From the Top is in Fort Myers, Florida showcasing outstanding musicians from 15 to 18 years old. You’ll hear a teenage pianist from the area performing the music of Alberto Ginastera and a teenage organist playing two movements from Hermann Schroeder’s Little Prelude and Intermezzi. You’ll also hear a 17-year-old clarinetist from North Carolina performing the music of Brahms, and a piano trio from New York performing Mendelssohn. Also, Roving Reporter Caeli Smith gets some special instruction from the young violinist up first on today’s show. He’ll tell her what to do — and what not to do — when you’re the concertmaster of an orchestra.
