Boston, MA / 77
About
This week, From the Top is at home at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall in Boston. We meet a duo of bassoonists who play Bozza and reunite another talented twosome who met at summer camp. We also meet a cellist with a passion for watching soap operas, and Roving Reporter Hayley Goldbach quizzes a 12-year-old violinist who already attends high school and reads the Economist for fun!
