The Orchestra of St. Luke's, Part II
Yesterday, we brought you Part I of our special onstage event with the Orchestra of St. Luke's, in their new home at New York's DiMenna Center for Classical Music. Today is Part II, and includes a performance of Beethoven's Fourth Symphony. Conductor Ivan Fischer calls it "full of life, humor, fun...a wonderful joke." Plus, music in honor of today's Good Friday and Earth Day observances.
