The host, acclaimed concert pianist Christopher O'Riley - who often also acts as accompanist - engages the young guests in discussions of their feelings and thoughts on the music they perform, as well as about their families, schools and non-musical lives.
Wednesdays from 10 to 11 p.m.
David Dubal's series Reflections from the Keyboard: The Piano in Comparative Performance is a weekly look at the art of performance, as well as those of discrimination and nuance. It centers around selections from the piano repertoire performed by several artists, each of whom offers a different interpretation.
This 13- week series, concluding August 19, features recent performances by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, many of them led by Music Director Neeme Järvi.
Saturdays – 9:00 – 11:00 PM:
