Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" music has been through many Jazz incarnations; we hear a lively one in Louis Singer's "Bounce of the Sugar Plum Fairies" from Don Byron. Also, dances by Leonard Bernstein and Florence Price, plus chamber music from New York composer John Musto, whose new opera "Later The Same Evening" premieres this week at the Manhattan School of Music.

I tuned in at about 7:00 this evening and heard some lovely piano music with which I was unfamiliar. The host broke in after some orchestral music started and identified that as Tchaikovsky. I want to know what the piano was. It was unclear when the gentleman read the playlist if that was part of the Tchaikovsky or not. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Laurie Briggs
