Have you ever attended a concert during an earthquake -- or performed during one? Violinist Simone Porter can answer 'yes' to at least one of those questions. On Thursday's Performance Today, Porter joins Fred in the studio as our newest Young Artist in Residence. On day two of her residency, she'll discuss a particularly memorable concert performance in California, and she'll play music by Prokofiev.
