Best of PT 2011
As 2011 winds to a close, we'll be taking this week to look back on some of our favorite shows from the past year. In April, host Fred Child visited a special new rehearsal and performance space in Manhattan, the DiMenna Center. Ivan Fischer and the Orchestra of St. Luke's performed a Beethoven Symphony there. And in August, we met an astonishing young violinist, 15-year-old Simone Porter, at the Aspen Festival in Colorado.
