Every day on PT, we have concert highlights you can't hear anyplace else. On Thursday's show, we'll take you to a concert hall with what might be the best view in the world of classical music. The Shalin Liu Center is right on the Atlantic coastline in Rockport, Massachusetts. And if you draw back the curtain right the stage, the audience gets a view through a floor to ceiling window of the bay that opens into the Atlantic Ocean. Clouds dancing overhead, and fishing boats on the water provide just the right background for a performance by marimba soloist Mika Yoshida.
