About

We’re in Davenport, Iowa, and this week we’re going to talk both collaboration and conflict with a major-competition-winning teenage string quartet. You’ll also hear a killer percussion piece played by 15-year-olds from Chicago and we’ll re-live one of our classical kid’s auditions, but not for the youth orchestra… for American Idol!

Violinist and Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Michael Ferri, 15, from University Heights, OH performs Seconda parte ‘friss’: Allegretto moderato from Rhapsody No. 1 by Béla Bartók
