Claremont on Performance Today

In February we performed in a 12 hour marathon concert celebrating the 50th Birthday of Young Concert Artists, the amazing organization that helped us launch our career more than 10 years ago. This coming Monday, May 9 Performance Today is broadcasting an hour of highlights from that marathon including our performance of the 2nd and 3rd movements of Paul Schoenfield's "Cafe Music".
