PT at the Ravinia Festival
Two weeks ago, the Ravinia Festival in Chicago wrapped up its 2012 season. PT's own Fred Child was there, hosting the final concerts of the season. We'll hear highlights from a very special concert from Ravinia that featured cellist Yo-Yo Ma and a remarkable young ensemble from New York called the Knights. They played music by Thomas Ades and Robert Schumann.
