Airs at 8PM on 93.9 FM
Terrance McKnight takes you on a special musical travelogue tonight, so put on your finest duds and some comfortable shoes as we travel to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a sold-out concert with world renowned violinist Hilary Hahn and singer-songwriter Josh Ritter.

Afterwards, follow Terrance to the downtown club Drom for the after-party celebrating the release of Hahn's new CD of Sibelius and Schoenberg Violin Concertos. Find out what's behind this uncommon musical pairing from both artists and weigh in with your own dream combos as Terrance takes you this unique, intimately guided tour.

This special WNYC live broadcast concert featuring Hilary Hahn and Josh Ritter is a production of WNYC New York Public Radio. Our Technical Director was Edward Haber; our engineer was Irene Trudel. The program was produced by Brian Wise with Alex Ambrose; our Executive Producer was Limor Tomer. A special thanks to Anya Grundmann from NPR Music.
