Senior Recitals Week
All this week on Performance Today, we're featuring terrific performances by some of the top university and conservatory music students in the country. They're the next generation of classical musicians, and they've been studying and practicing for years for the big event, their senior recitals. On today's show, we'll feature students from the Oberlin Conservatory and the University of Texas at Austin.
