Today's Program
Music for the 4th of July
Among all the larger-than-life personalities in the music world, pianist Tzimon Barto just might be the largest. A body-builder who could probably bench-press the grand piano he plays on. Fluent in seven languages. Writes novels and poetry. A true original, we'll hear him playing music by another original - George Gershwin. The show is filled with great American music in honor of this most American of holidays.
