12:00 FROM THE TOP with America's finest young musicians; recorded September 2024

We are in Kansas City! We explore the connection between music and math with a 16-year-old pianist who also happens to be a champion swimmer. We hear a majestic performance of Dukas by a teen French horn player. A young flutist performs Ian Clarke’s The Great Train Race and describes the technical and artistic challenges of emulating the sounds of a train in this exhilarating work. A 17-year-old double bassist gives a heartfelt performance of Bottesini’s Elegy No. 1. We meet a teen composer and learn about her journey in writing music, including creating an imaginative ocean adventure for the famous Kronos Quartet which you’ll hear! And we enjoy a flashback performance by prize-winning violinist Maria Ioudenitch from when she was a teen living in Kansas City.

The Metropolitan Opera’s 2024-25 season continues with Aida, Verdi’s monumental tragedy of forbidden love in ancient Egypt. Soprano Angel Blue stars in the title role of the Ethiopian princess, a captive in the pharaoh’s court. Tenor Piotr Beczala is her lover, the Egyptian warrior Radamès. Mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi is the pharaoh’s daughter Amneris – who is also in love with Radamès. And baritone Quinn Kelsey is Aida’s father Amonasro, king of Ethiopia. The incomparable Metropolitan Opera Chorus and Orchestra are led by Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin in Verdi’s sweeping drama – presented in a spectacular new production.
