A Mother's Influence

Violinist Mayumi Kanagawa is our latest PT Young Artist-in-Residence this season. She's also the youngest, at 17 years old. Most of her success is due to talent and hard work. But she also gives credit to her mother, who helped to shape her as a musician. In today's show, Mayumi Kanagawa talks about the role her mother has played in her musical development. And she plays the "Havanaise" by Camille Saint-Saens.
