NPR’s From the Top with Host Christopher O’Riley: Denver, Colorado/ Show 266

About

This week, From the Top comes to you from Boettcher Concert Hall in Denver where our teenagers play with the great Colorado Symphony. You’ll hear an outstanding 17-year-old organist join the orchestra to perform the final movement of the Saint-Saens Symphony No. 3 and meet a teenage violinist who plays Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen while sharing the stage with her parents (click here to see pictures), who are orchestra members. Also, the Colorado ChildrenÕs Chorale sings the music of Randall Thompson.
