Pianist Garrick Ohlsson joined us for music and conversation at a special PT event in Jackson Hole, Wyoming last month. Ohlsson is thoughtful and poetic when it comes to talking about music, and as a pianist, he's a virtuoso and a master on the lyrical side of the keyboard. On Friday's Performance Today, Garrick Ohlsson plays four pieces by Alexander Scriabin, in concert at the Grand Teton Music Festival.
