When violinist Pinchas Zukerman wanted to start a group of traveling chamber musicians, he called it, not so surprisingly, the Zukerman ChamberPlayers. Trading on the name brand recognition, the group is also making a name for itself artistically. On today's show, we'll hear them perform a Mozart string quintet in New York City.
