PT in Boston
Performance Today is on the road, broadcasting from the studios of Classical New England in Boston today. In honor of our host city, we'll sample a few terrific performances by notable Boston musicians. Including composer Osvaldo Golijov and cellist Yo-Yo Ma, both Boston-area residents. They team up with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in Golijov's magical and mesmerizing "Azul." Plus, we'll hear from an innovative new chamber orchestra from Boston called A Far Cry.
