Seventeen-year-old pianist Ronald Joseph from outside New Orleans; 14-year-old jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky from Hampstead, Quebec; and 17-year-old violinist Allyson Tomsky from Brooklyn, New York.

This week on FROM THE TOP AT CARNEGIE HALL, we learn that no matter how far from home we are, we always have a home in the things we love. Seventeen-year-old pianist Ronald Joseph grew up outside New Orleans, but temporarily relocated to New York in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to study at the Juilliard School before returning home to finish his senior year of high school. Ronald performs the second movement "Mardi Gras" from "The Enchanted Garden" by Richard Danielpour. Fourteen-year-old Nikki Yanofsky from Hampstead, Quebec, who tours North America as a jazz singer, used the first paycheck she earned from her singing to establish a cancer foundation. Nikki performs "Old McDonald Had a Farm" accompanied by Geoff Lang on drums, Rob Fahie on bass and John Sadowy on piano. Host Christopher O'Riley then accompanies 17-year-old violinist Allyson Tomsky from Brooklyn, New York, as she performs the first movement Allegro ben ritmato e deciso from Gershwin's Three Preludes to round out the episode.
