Martha Argerich has received numerous distinctions, including the French Government’s “Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres”....she joins the LA Phil. in Schumann's only Piano Concerto, still a standard of the concerto repertoire.

This week's "Evening Concert" showcases performances of the major orchestras of (in chronological order) Milwaukee, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.

"Classic" classics from Mozart (the 4th Horn Concerto and "Haffne" Symphony) and Haydn (the trumpet Concerto, the "London" Symphony) tonight.

This week's "Evening Concert" includes a special broadcast of "The Pirates of Penzance", Ravel's "Piano Concerto in G", Haydn's "Trumpet Concerto" and more.

"Any" work of music begins with the first note. Seems obvious. Listeners are less aware of that first sound than players...Sibelius' "Violin Concerto" has "that" first note...and from that springs the entire work.
