About

This episode of From the Top comes to you from the biennial Convention MENC: The National Association of Music Education in Minneapolis, Minnesota. You’ll hear a young baritone from Texas singing Schubert and a teenage ensemble from Chicago playing the Andante Cantabile from Schumann ‘s Piano Quartet. Also, we’ll discuss that venerable American teenage institution, the high school prom, with the young trumpeter on today’s show—and you’ll find out why wearing a powder blue tux is a bad, bad idea.
