Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, Carnival. Call it what you want, it's just one big party in many cities around the world. We'll celebrate the day by featuring performances of Briccialdi's "The Carnival of Venice" and Stravinsky's "Petrushka." Plus, we'll hear from Brazil's Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra, on tour in Florida.
