On Thursday's Performance Today we'll hear a concert performance that is precise and polished. But it only got this way through professional disagreement. The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra has no conductor. Members of the orchestra lead rehearsals and everyone gets their say. Tune in to hear the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra perform Schubert's Symphony No. 4 at Carnegie Hall.
