Happy Thanksgiving
Today just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without some turkey. We'll serve up some "Turkey in the Straw" and other great American fiddle tunes, courtesy of Time for Three, in concert in Athens, Georgia. Plus, an all-American favorite, Aaron Copland's "Appalachian Spring," performed by the Cleveland Orchestra. And we wrap up our week of cello concertos with the Schumann, performed by Maria Kliegel and the RTE National Symphony in Dublin.
