San Francisco, CA / 69
About
This week, From the Top knocks ’em dead at the world famous Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, California. We’ll present one of the most talented teenage trumpet players we’ve ever featured and learn about his very unusual pet. We’ll meet a member of a wonderful guitar-cello duo who dreams of one day being a Supreme Court Justice — and a fashion model. And, in true Californian spirit, we’ll present trick skateboarding on the stage of Davies Hall.
