Episode 88 - 24 Carats

On this edition, it’s ‘24 Carats,” featuring some golden performances by Heifetz students from the summer of 2024.  We’ll hear a fantasy based on Paganini, a Hungarian Rhapsody for cello, a forgotten viola piece plucked from the discard pile, and even Bach’s Chaconne for four violas.
