The Bedřich Smetana Museum on the banks of the Moldau river.

This week, hosts Michael Stern and Dan Margolies explore a diverse program evocative of nature, the outdoors and nocturnal adventure. We'll hear the Kansas City Symphony perform works by Haydn, Smetana, Schoenberg, Milhaud, Ives and Ginastera.

An agreement with the Kansas City Symphony allows us to share audio for this program up to four weeks after the program's original air date. You can listen to currently available episodes here.
