About
From the Holland Performing Arts Center in Omaha, Nebraska, this week’s show demonstrates that our national cultural life is thriving in the heart of America. You’ll meet two kids from the Great Plains — an 18-year-old violist playing Schumann and a pianist, also 18, playing Paul Creston. Plus, a teenage percussion quartet from Chicago improvises an homage to that American temple of fast food: McDonalds!
