A marimba performance by 16-year-old Joshua Jones of Chicago, Illinois; 12-year-old violinist Anna Lee, from Queens, New York; and the Maggiore Trio — Anna Lee, 11-year-old pianist Alice Burla and 13-year-old cellist Taeguk Mun.
Whether he's accompanying the gospel choir in his church or playing
with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Percussion Scholarship Group,
16-year-old marimba player Joshua Jones of Chicago, Illinois, finds
rhythm all around him, sometimes even while doing his household
chores. Also featured is 12-year-old violinist Anna Lee, from
Queens, New York, whose classmates affectionately call her "one
small girl with one big attitude." Accompanied by host Christopher
O'Riley, Anna gives a performance of Pablo de Saraste's
"Ziguenerweisen" ("Gypsy Airs"), Op. 20, No. 1, and also appears as
one-third of the Maggiore Trio - the final performers on this
episode. Rounding out the trio are 11-year-old pianist Alice Burla,
who was featured in the first season of FROM THE TOP AT CARNEGIE
HALL, and 13-year-old cellist Taeguk Mun. The Maggiore Trio
performs the third movement, Presto ("Gypsy Rondo"), from Haydn's
Piano Trio in G Minor.
