Winner of the 2010 Sphinx Competition
We'll meet the winner of the 2010 Sphinx Competition for young African-American and Latino string players: 24 year-old violinist Gareth Johnson. And we'll hear his winning performance from Sunday night in Detroit, the final movement from the Violin Concerto No. 3 by Camille Saint Saens. Plus: pianist Jon Nakamatsu and clarinetist Jon Manasse are back for day two of music and conversation in the studio. They'll play a pair of virtuosic movements from the Grand Duo for Clarinet and Piano by a contemporary of Beethoven, Carl Maria von Weber. And a pair of rags written for them by American composer John Novacek.
