NPR’s From the Top: Morristown, NJ / Show 378

About

This is the second of two shows recorded in Morristown, New Jersey, with host pianist Peter Dugan. This week’s episode features a young tenor who had very little exposure to classical music and propelled himself into the world of high-level classical music training through his own sustained efforts. You’ll also hear an impressive high school choir deliver a transporting performance of the music of Randall Stroope.
