Pittsburgh Concert Society’s Young Artist Winner’s Showcase: Trio

This week we’ll preview this Caribbean fairy tale told in rousing song and dance. Once on this Island is a joyous marriage of the slick and the folkloric, of the hard-nosed sophistication of Broadway musical theater and the indigenous culture of a tropical isle.

We’re excited to kick off our latest youth music series, courtesy of the Pittsburgh Concert Society. This week we’ll feature talented marimba player Hanna Kim, a sophomore at CAPA, live in our studios!
