About
This week’s show comes to you from the Kimmel Center for Performing Arts in Philadelphia, a city overflowing with great young musicians. All of the performers featured study in the area, either at the Settlement Music School or at Temple University’s Music Preparatory Division. Among them, you’ll hear a teenage wind quintet performing the music of contemporary composer Gyorgy Ligeti and a very young violinist from New Jersey performing the opening movement of Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2. The City of Brotherly Love is well represented in this week’s edition of From the Top!
