Sibelius, Kreisler, & More / Show 482

About

A teen cellist plays a rare work by Sibelius that was lost for over a century, a young harpist performs a tango by Salzedo, and an introverted teen finds a confident voice in the trumpet. A teen violinist experiments with classical music and artificial intelligence and plays a sizzling Kreisler. Plus a 16-year-old French Hornist evokes his childhood on a farm filled with music and animals!
