Saturday, April 26, 2008

Sara Fishko curates and hosts this 10-part series, which features the greatest live performances from the stage of the Y's Kaufmann Concert Hall. In this premiere episode, The Tokyo String Quartet performs music by Haydn, plus a rarely-heard Septet by German composer Hanns Eisler, drawn from his own music for a Charlie Chaplin film.
