"Thibaudet is a virtuoso pianist of the first order"  - Timothy Mangan (Orange Country Register). Let's take his word for it And tune in to hear of it, tonight at 7:00.

Gershwin travelled to Paris more than once in the 1920s; the city served as the inspiration for the famous "An American in Paris".

Tonight's LA Philharmonic is a program of "Program" music, which is music without words, often with a descriptive rather than generic title, meant to evoke the feeling, the place, the situation, in sound.

Tonight's broadcast is a double celebration: 50 years of Cleveland Orchestra Radio Network presenting the archived 50-year-anniversary-of-Severance Hall concert.
