12:00 FROM THE TOP with America's finest young musicians; recorded October 2024
We are celebrating From the Top’s 25th birthday! You’ll hear festive performances of Gershwin, Beethoven, Chopin, and more. We’ll get to know a 13-year-old violinist who is equally accomplished in classical repertoire and fiddling, meet a 16-year-old pianist who has already contributed to writing a published book, and witness a life-changing surprise. We also reconnect with From the Top alum Yuna Langehennig and learn about her journey to becoming an Airman First Class in the United States Air Force Heritage of America Band. She brings along her wind ensemble Heritage Winds and they perform a rousing work by Paquito D'Rivera. Join us in celebrating 25 years of supporting gifted young musicians!

13:00 ROBERT K. JOHNSON FOUNDATION METROPOLITAN OPERA RADIO NETWORK with Debra Lew Harder
The Metropolitan Opera’s 2024-25 season continues with Rigoletto, Verdi’s tragedy of a man struggling to separate the good from the evil in his life. Italian baritone Luca Salsi stars in the title role of the sharp-tongued court jester; American soprano Erin Morley is Gilda, the daughter Rigoletto tries to shelter from the world; and Samoan tenor Pene Pati makes his Met broadcast debut as the lecherous Duke of Mantua, who preys on the innocent Gilda. The cast also features Soloman Howard and Rihab Chaieb as a ruthless assassin and his seductive sister. Maestro Daniele Callegari conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus in Verdi’s unforgettable score, full of famous melodies and heart-wrenching drama.
