WRTI celebrates Passover with two great specials Monday evening: A Musical Feast for Passover with Itzhak Perlman at 8 pm, and The Passover Story at 9 pm - both on HD-2 and the All-Classical web stream.

In A Musical Feast for Passover with Itzhak Perlman, violinist Itzhak Perlman shares Passover music from many traditions, plus songs and memories from his childhood in Israel. The program draws its shape from the Passover seder and, like that ancient family ritual, the music gets progressively giddier as the show moves along.
