NPR’s From the Top:”Blanket Fort Show 2″ Remote Recording / Show 388

About

This week’s show with host Peter Dugan features a precocious 11-year-old guitarist, a teenage violinist performing Sarasate, and a young composer shares a new work.

This episode was recorded by the performers in their homes using sophisticated equipment sent by the show’s producers. Host Peter Dugan synched in accompaniment and conducted interviews via zoom. This is the second remote recorded show that From the Top has produced during lockdown in spring 2020.

This episode of From the Top is dedicated in memory of Kalen Ratzlaff, a beloved member of staff who is greatly missed.
