The Olmos Ensemble wants to make classical music accessible for everyone. One way is to let audience members choose how much to pay for tickets. People pay what they can... some a little more, some a little less. On Tuesday's Performance Today, we'll drop in on a concert in San Antonio, Texas, and hear the Olmos Ensemble perform a quintet by Anton Reicha.
