Wyatt Ellis with Host Peter Dugan and Guest Host Victor Wooten

Grammy Award-winning bass player Victor Wooten joins us this week as we celebrate great music out of Nashville, Tennessee! A teen violinist performs a marvelous work by contemporary composer Daniel Bernard Roumain. We hear a joyful Beethoven Piano Sonata performed by a 16-year-old pianist and a talented teen flutist plays a Bach Sonata. Victor Wooten and Peter join an up-and-coming teen bluegrass mandolin player – who recently had his debut at the Grand Ole Opry – on a toe-tapping tune written by our young guest. Finally, we meet the drum major from Tennessee State University’s Aristocrat of Bands and hear a selection from their Grammy Award-winning album.

Buckle up for this exciting musical journey!

Listen to the talented young musicians and learn about their life stories on "From the Top" - Saturday and Sunday here on Blue Lake Public Radio.
