From the Top
Host, Christoper O'Riley
Saturdays, 12:30 to 1:30 pm
Pianist Christopher O'Riley hosts this showcase for talented young performers, in which they demonstrate their prodigious ability and reveal details of their non-musical lives, from sibling secrets to favorite foods.
Recorded in live concert settings in concert halls around the United States, From the Top captures the top-notch musicianship, offbeat humor and insights of America's best classical musicians ages nine to 18. High-profile performers such as Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and Bobby McFerrin have appeared on the show to talk about their musical influences and the development of their careers, and to perform with the young artists.
The program has been described by the Chicago Tribune as "one of the most original programs in the history of public radio," while the Los Angeles Times declared, "From the Top is making classical music wild and fun and crazy!" Read more about From the Top.
