Princess Leia in Vienna, Mozart in Charleston
The venerable Vienna Philharmonic: keepers of the highest classical standards, minders of the grand Viennese tradition of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and Mahler. We'll catch up with the Vienna Philharmonic at an outdoor concert they gave last month in their hometown, playing -- for the first time in their history -- music from the soundtrack to Star Wars, by John Williams. Plus a survey of highlights from American music festival in the spring of this year, including the Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra performing Mozart's Symphony No. 35.
