Family Ties

Today's show features performers and composers with interesting family ties to one another. From brother and sister Gil and Orli Shaham, to father-in-law and son-in-law Antonin Dvorak and Josef Suk, to cousins (by marriage) Mozart and Weber, to the guitar-playing Romero family. It's all in the family, on Performance Today.
