An SPCO Double-Header

We'll feature the acclaimed Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra twice today. First we'll hear them at home in St. Paul, Minnesota, with pianist Christian Zacharias playing a Chopin concerto. Then we'll follow them on their Scandinavian tour, and hear a recent concert in Copenhagen. Violinist Nikolaj Znaider joins them for a Mozart concerto. Tune in for one of the country's finest chamber orchestras, both at home and on the road.
