About

This program from Portland ME, guest hosted by pianist Orli Shaham, features conversations focusing on the unique stage of artistic development that each From the Top performer is experiencing at this point in their lives. We meet a young clarinetist who shares with us how he manages to breath effectively while playing extremely taxing repertoire, and a young pianist who shares how she tames her instrument in order to be a good collaborator with string players in chamber music.
