From the Top

Special pricing for young audiences: ages 16 and under are half-price for this performance!

This popular radio show, a talent competition for superb young classical musicians, is aired on 250 stations nationwide including San Francisco's KDFC, and is hailed by critics as "the best thing to happen to classical music since Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts." Hosted by acclaimed concert pianist Christopher O'Riley, this live weekly taping of From the Top is a fun musical event for the entire family. "You don't have to be a classical music fan to love this show. From the Top's signature is not taking itself too seriously—it's classy reality programming," says NBC's The Today Show.

Featuring performances and interviews with talented young musicians from the Bay Area and across the country, including 12-year-old pianist Hilda Huang from Palo Alto performing selections from Bach's Art of the Fugue, 17-year-old composer Preben Antonsen from Berkeley with an original composition, and the San Francisco Girls Chorus.

Co-sponsored by Classical 102.1 KDFC.
