Violinist Gil Shaham performs with the Kansas City Symphony in Helzberg Hall, September 2022.

Acclaimed violinist Gil Shaham joins co-hosts Michael Stern and Dan Margolies for a fun and heartfelt conversation about his early days and collaborating with the Kansas City Symphony. We'll hear Gil as soloist in performances of music by Samuel Barber, Alban Berg and Camille Saint-Saens. We'll also hear Paul Hindemith's "Trauermusik" as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

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.
