The Spoleto Festival USA
Geoff Nuttall is the charming and genial host for chamber music concerts at the Spoleto Festival USA. He's there at every concert, introducing every piece of music, injecting wit and humor into every performance. In today's show, Nuttall introduces us to the original waltz king, Austrian composer Josef Lanner. We'll hear music by Lanner from the 2012 Spoleto Festival USA, the first of a number of Spoleto performances on PT this week.
