How does ensemble size and instrumentation shape the listening experience? There’s something for everyone this week as we explore performances from soloists to ensembles, large and small. We’ll hear a solo pianist play Rachmaninoff, a bassoon, oboe, and piano trio performing Poulenc, an award-winning high school orchestra play a Shostakovich Symphony, and much more!

This episode was recorded with musicians from Tucson, Arizona, Los Angeles, California, and Austin, Texas.
