Happy Father's Day
It's hard enough to balance work and family life. But for classical musicians who travel a lot, it can be even more difficult. Today, in honor of Father's Day, we'll talk to pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, and find out how fatherhood has changed his life. Andsnes says, "I'm both crying and laughing more easily than before." We'll hear Andsnes in concert in Poland. And the Edmonton Symphony plays Robert Rival's Lullaby, written last year for his newborn son.
