Music City

In today's show, a performance from Music City - Nashville, Tennessee. Pianist Kirill Gerstein plays a Rachmaninoff concerto with the Nashville Symphony. And the story of trombonist Jeremy Wilson, who's resigning his chair in the Vienna Philharmonic to return to his roots in Tennessee. He'll teach at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
