Curated by NPR’s From the Top host Peter Dugan, this concert showcases young rising classical music stars…”from the top” of an open-air boat floating down the Colorado River. These up-and-coming artists, anchored in performance by the versatile, “fearlessly athletic” (San Fransico Chronicle) pianist and From the Top alum Peter Dugan, share their talents and journeys in their most unique performance venue yet.
