About
Guest artist Menahem Pressler, founding member of the world-renowned Beaux Arts Trio, joins Christopher O’Riley and seven outstanding young performers on this week’s From the Top.
Mr. Pressler leads our teenage trio in a brief master class and offers eloquent words of wisdom on the joys of art and collaboration. A high school senior treats us to a rather mischievous performance of Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 2, and Roving Reporter Hayley Goldbach discovers that Japanese take-out can cure a young musician of homesickness.
