We're pleased to introduce our next 2024 PT Young Artist in Residence: pianist Avery Gagliano. Avery joins Fred Child for music and conversation at our Saint Paul studio on today's show. 

Violinist James Ehnes absolutely loves playing at the Grand Teton Music Festival. He says, "The physical beauty is beyond description, and the quality of music-making defies rational explanation." On today's show, we'll take you to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to hear Ehnes play Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1. 

Composer Anna Clyne heard a connection between a moment in Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata and the early 20th-century American tradition of "stride" piano. The pulsating, driving rhythm in the bass line is the starting point for her new piece called Stride. We'll hear it in concert on today’s show.

In 2006, composer Adam Schoenberg went to a show of paintings by Mark Rothko, and he had what he calls a "visceral reaction." Schoenberg was inspired to write music based on four of Rothko’s paintings. On today's show, we'll take you to Houston to hear Finding Rothko by Adam Schoenberg.

We're proud to introduce you to violinist Sarah Ma, the first of our 2024 PT Young Artists in Residence. On today's show, Sarah joins Fred Child for music and conversation at our studio in St. Paul. Plus, Bruce Adolphe has this week’s Piano Puzzler!
